The research demonstrates how Amitav Ghosh's The Hungry Tide employs magical realism through its various magical elements to create a unique narrative that follows ecological change and cultural traditions and the experiences of marginalized groups. The novel presents its magical content through the actual existence of the Sundarbans region which connects mythological elements and environmental factors with human methods of survival. The research shows how magical realism in the novel creates new conditions because it breaks down fundamental boundaries that separate science from faith and people from everything that exists and past events from remembered experiences. The Ghosh narrative presents an alternative way of knowing that combines living together with changing existence and understanding ecological systems
