The level and growth of urbanization differ considerably by region. Among different countries, Latin American countries have the highest portion of the people that live in the country living in urban areas. But the south and the east of Asia are the most likely to have the most urbanized area over the next 30 years. Almost all of future world population growth will be in towns and cities. Urbanization is a powerful force of human nature because as they move, the climate shifts with them. The more humans in one area make more pollution in that one area because of all the Homo sapiens living there. “In 1800 only about 2 percent of the world's population lived in urban areas. Until a century ago, urban areas were some of the unhealthiest places for people to live. The increased density of populations in urban areas led to the rapid spread of infectious diseases. Consequently, death rates in urban areas historically were higher than in rural areas. The only way urban areas maintained their existence until recently was by the continual in-migration of rural people.”(prb.org,

Ordinarily, the critics tend to take it as altogether a feminist novel, but an in-depth study may bring out the truth that it is a tale of ‘metamorphosis’ or a total transformation of a human self into a metaphorical phoenix, born out of the fire of riot. It’s a tale of a woman, who struggles within and ultimately is purified. She becomes bold and decisive to denounce the so called geographical concepts of boundaries which break the human hearts and yield unimaginable destitution and suffering. It raises some basic questions of humanism and shows ways to ‘bimukti’ (liberation) of the human soul from all conflicts and ignorance. Agunpakhi is no simple woman, but a part of a greater human civilization where each individual is given importance according to his or her own choice. Accordingly, there are no direct actions of violence shown in the text because violence, as its own, has no power at all. The Indian concept of humanism believes in non-violence which is the best way to
