| Abstract: | Abstract: Amitav Ghosh’s Sea of Poppies (2008) positions the schooner ibis as a central site where the mechanics of nineteenth-century empire become visible. This article argues that the ship functions as a floating microcosm of colonial power. Where the opium trade and the indenture system simultaneously dissolve traditional caste identities and reinforce imperial hierarchies of race and class. Through close reading of key shipboard episodes involving Deeti, Zachary, and the lascars, the paper demonstrates how Ghosh uses the voyage to expose the human cost of colonial commerce. The analysis suggests that the ibis is not merely a setting but an active instrument of empire, revealing how colonial waters reconfigured identity and labour in ways that resonate with contemporary patterns of global migration. |
