Indian writer Amitav Ghosh’s new book, ‘The Nutmeg’s Curse: Parables for a Planet in Crisis’, argues that the origins of our current climate crisis is rooted in the exploitative practices of western colonialism.

In an audio conversation with The Quint, Ghosh who is best known for his works of fiction like 'The Shadow Lines', 'The Hungry Tide', 'Sea of Poppies' and various others, says that the shift towards writing a non-fiction book on climate change happened because the planet has changed.
