Nuclear Energy – A project of descending darkness.
The following article is written by an activist of the May Seventeenth Movement and also a close supporter of the New Socialist Alternative (CWI – India). It is based on a report from a seminar in Madurai during the anti-nuclear yatra to Koodankulam that took place recently.
The anti-nuclear movement is starting to gather some momentum in India, particularly after the experience of the anti-nuclear protest at Koodankulam that has become a source inspiration for all those fighting against the nuclear madness that has afflicted the Indian ruling class. Unable to take the protesters head on, the Indian ruling class has started to deploy all its witch doctors, from nuclear fanatics like Abdul Kalam (who has gone on record to state that the reactors are 100% safe!) to the spread of misinformation that the protest is being funded by foreign sources and organizing pro-nuclear rallies in Tamil Nadu.
