The Great Nicobar Betrayal - Mumbai Book Launch & Discussion with Pankaj Sekhsaria

We invite you to join us for the first of two special meetups on the Great Nicobar island. A second meetup will be held at IIT Bombay around July 12, 2024.

In The Great Nicobar Betrayal, Pankaj Sekhsaria, one of the best known chroniclers of contemporary issues in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, has compiled a set of articles written by various experts across publications that examine the proposed project from every angle—environmental, geological, impact on local communities, law, due process, and ecology. These pieces together shed light on the magnitude of the disaster that will be unleashed on this pristine place if the project comes through.

The book is a warning and a catalogue of the manmade catastrophe that lurks on the horizon, one that will destroy more than the tsunami of December 2004 ever did. In this session, Pankaj Sekhsaria is in conversation Naresh Fernandes and researcher Mahi Mankeshwar.

In collaboration with Frontline Magazine and Coastal Conservation Foundation.

Date: June 30, 2024
Time: 5:00PM
Venue: MCubed Library, Bandra (https://maps.app.goo.gl/oyqMdmViHPcjsVR27)
