Abstract
- The study researches how cosmopolitanism is used as a critical idea in thinking about subaltern contrivance for resisting neoliberal economic and emotional constraints. Amitav Ghosh's Ibis Trilogy is an exemplar of the multiplicity and heterogeneity of plots and characters. Like every creative writer who attempts to forge a new route, Amitav Ghosh attracts a lot of criticism for his excessive seriousness and dark narrative. Ghosh attempts poised and pretreated characters in the plot to derive a standard acknowledgment of the history. Historic events and characters are always a high end to a novel. This article explores the trivialities all subaltern characters face irrespective of their class, caste, race, and gender. A precise assertion is presented in the article by corroborating Gayatri Spivak's proposition on subalternity and rehabilitating the idea of cosmopolitanism through the rise of the subaltern characters in the novels. The paper hypothesizes the evolution of all characters under various plights. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
