Environmental consciousness in Abhigyan Shakuntalam

Abhigyan Sakuntlam me Paryavaran Chetna

Abstract

For Shakuntala nature is not merely an object of pleasure or to be seen, it is her dear kin, such a kin whose joys and sorrows affect her mind and for whom she has immense love and feeling in her heart. Similarly, Kashyap considers Shakuntala and Navamalika Lata to be equal, both are his daughters. Because he is as sure about Shakuntala's marriage with Dushyant as he is about Navamalika Lata's marriage with Aamra. This nature is inextricably linked with drama. Kalidas has been successful in portraying the trees and vines of Tapovan as alive and feeling like a living human being.
