An Eco-Stylistic Analysis of Agha Shahid Ali’s I See Kashmir from New Dehli at Midnight
The basic aim of this study is to foreground the ecological elements through, metaphors, deviations, and parallelisms in Agha Shahid Ali's I See Kashmir from New Delhi at Midnight (2002). The study is qualitative in nature and is based on an interpretive paradigm. The text is used as a primary source of data for the analysis. The data is analyzed through closed reading and textual analysis. The present study uses Halliday’s Systemic Functional Grammar (1985) and Zurru’s (2017) approach as a theoretical framework. The analysis highlights that Agha Shahid Ali has used lexical, graphological, semantic, syntactic, and phonological deviations along with lexical, grammatical, and semantic parallelisms in I See Kashmir from New Delhi at Midnight (2002) to emphasize the fragility and beauty of Kashmir’s natural environment, the impacts of human conflict on the region’s ecology, and the resilience of the natural world amidst political turmoil.
