Hindi literary journals have often published writings on the environment, but there’s hardly any special issue dedicated to among the most pressing themes of our times. In the backdrop, the journal Sadaneera has brought out its recent issue on the anthropocene, perhaps the first such intervention in the language. Not many in the Hindi world are even aware of the term anthropocene, which denotes an era in which human activities have caused a permanent and decisive impact on the planet and its ecosystems. Various ecologists and scientists have differently defined the temporal boundaries of the era with a general consensus about its characteristics.
