Kudankulam

The book tells the many stories that circulate around a nuclear power plant in Kudankulam in the southern peninsular of Tamil Nadu in India from the late 1980s. The tales are by way of fishermen and women, farmers, environmentalists, activists, writers, scholars, teachers, journalists, priests, children, as much as they are of lawyers, scientists, state officials and the author drawing upon an interdisciplinary field as the subject compels. They show how peninsular
residents contended with the prospect of one of Asia's largest nuclear enterprise being built on their doorstep.
