Abstract
Imperial expansion is not dead. Forms have been changed but one of the
targets and goals of this enterprise, devaluing other’s identity, and
submerging integrity through dominance and coercion, remained intact. The word
imperialism is associated with kingdoms and conquest of territories in a
battle. But it has disturbed and challenged indigenous ecologies equally.
However, ancestral wisdom envisioned potentials to sabotage imperial expansion
and environmental injustices through indigenous knowledge formations that
inform the Mahaparbat of Amitav Ghosh’s The Living Mountain. The study revealed
extractive tendencies weakened indigenous cosmologies about the mountain within the South Asian Himalayan context of extractive colonial
modernity.
