Abstract
Man wants to tame nature to have some extra benefits. He is not satisfied with what he gets naturally from nature. This 'use' of nature for personal gain has undeniably made human life better but at the same time has broken the natural status quo. What appears beneficial for humans turns to be dangerous for many others. This stands in sharp contrast with the homogeneous living of all other species. This exploitative creed of human beings is crossing every limit and nature may bounce back any moment. Kamala Markandaya in her novel, The Coffer Dams has very keenly presented this conflict. The clash between natural and artificial has revealed the faulty steps that proud humans are following. A dam may seem a meek example, but it has much more to tell.
