The books of Amitav Ghosh are exemplary of postcolonial ideas, which in their purest form denounce borders and limits while celebrating the inevitability of some forms of border crossing. The themes of boundary crossing and the murkiness of existing borders are central to Ghosh's The Hungry Tide (2004). Members of the novel's cast of characters are those who, in the 1940s and 1950s, were forced to flee from East Pakistan to India. The tale depicts the hopeless battle of islanders in the Bay of Bengal to survive extreme hardship. In terms of geography, the novel's setting is a terrifyingly open wasteland. To keep up with the ever-changing patterns of nature, the land's land and water's water limits are always shifting. (p. 7). Under these conditions, the refugees have no choice but to take direct action against the Indian government for its inability to protect them. Those from Bangladesh who fled to Morichjhapi have been labelled as unlawful squatters. While justifying their actions by citing the necessity to protect forests and wildlife preserves, the government harassed, threatened, and even murdered these evacuees. As a result of persecution, many people moved often, preferring to settle in low-lying locations where they were less likely to attract unwelcome attention. In 1979, hundreds of refugees were slaughtered as the government attempted to remove them from the island. Ghosh depicts a nonaligned space of cosmopolitan arguments and their accompanying difficulties being handled without any prejudices owing to the acceptance of global culture, even in such a worst-case scenario. The colonists make do with what they have, despite the area's drawbacks. Ghosh's idea of human value as universal is on display in his work The Hungry Tide, which tells the tales of a group of people who are mostly unknown outside of India.
