This paper is an attempt to study Mahasweta Devi’s short story Witch from the collection Bitter Soil (1998), in an ecofeminist perspective focusing on the deleterious effects of extractivism, bonded labor system and exploitation of the unprivileged and the environment. Devi describes vividly the outrages, the prejudices of tribal women, the oppression of the tribal community, and the exploitation of the environment in this short story. Tribals were dispossessed and displaced from their indigenous places by the medieval ancient kings and also by the rulers of the British Empire in the pre-independence period; their grievances were further aggravated by the developmental activities of post-colonial India such as land conversion and forest clearing. In the chosen work, Devi constructs an ecological consciousness and promotes the harmony of human lives with nature. The article explains how extractivism as a principle is more profit-oriented and insensitive to the damage done to people and the environment. It also systematically explores how the story Witch adds a new dimension to the already existing discourse of ecofeminism, based on several propositions from the West as well as Indian facets, which are even more pluralistic.
