Water bodies, as cultural and spiritual entities, are not merely a source of physical nurturance, but also embody values that signify a deep connection between the land and its people. The organic and interactive relationship between humans and waterbodies is being radically affected in the era of the Anthropocene, and this calls attention to disanthropocentric discourses about water ecologies. Ecofeminism, as a political ideology and activist movement, challenges and unearths ways in which gendered, cultural assumptions about nature, including the role and function of water, have created dualist assumptions and hierarchies that perpetuate environmental injustices like environmental sexism, environmental racism, and environmental classism. Sarah Joseph’s novel Gift in Green (2011) explores, on multiple levels, the rupture of the intimate relationship between the indigenous people living an unadulterated life in the village of Aathi and their ‘water-life’—the very source of existence, survival and spiritual nurturance. The present research paper studies Sarah Joseph’s novel as an alternative, ecofeminist approach to addressing water justice issues which point toward a departure from an Anthropocene world view to an ecocene approach and challenge patriarchal narratives. By highlighting water ethics, Joseph aims to promote ecological consciousness and underscores a participatory mode of feminist activism that challenges the tentacled claws of capitalism. Vandana Shiva’s ecofeminist insights will be pressed into service for a critical analysis of the text. In addition, I propose to use the concept of ‘Watery Relationality’ and ‘Hydrofeminism’ used by Astrida Neimanis to highlight the interplay of social, cultural and environmental relationships between bodies of water and human bodies and Stacy Alaimo’s analysis of ‘Transcorporeality.’ The analysis will also explore the significance of water in building sustenance and resilience, which is often intertwined with the activist voices of women as well as indigenous peoples.
