In utter desperation, people in Koodankulam have surrendered their \u2018Voter ID cards,\u2019 the ultimate symbol of \u2018people\u2019s power,\u2019 which is the essence of any genuine democracy. Can there be a more ominous way to dissent?<\/p>\n<p>Much like the recent anti-corruption upsurge, various actions for social, gender and cological justice and other struggles in various parts of the country to safeguard people\u2019s rights for their lives, dignity, resources, and livelihoods, the people\u2019s movement in Koodankulam demanding a safe future is facing callous repression from the government and continued apathy. Disappointingly, our mainstream media also persists in under-reporting this genuinely popular movement.<\/p>\n<p>People in Idinthakarai village had to end their 14-day long fast this week. It is appalling that nobody from the Tamil Nadu, or Central Government came to speak to them, and that police strength in the area has been intensified, with every possible intimidating tactic \u2013including taking away the food ration cards of agitating villagers.<\/p>\n<p>We appeal to you in a state of urgency and desperation.<\/p>\n<p>The debate on India\u2019s energy future is far from settled.\u00a0 We will need broader consensus and greater persuasion to ensure that India opts for the safest, most sustainable people-centric energy future.<\/p>\n<p>The reactor project in Koodankulam perpetrates too many unacceptable violations of norms and procedures. The agitating people are peacefully and persistently trying to raise several important questions \u2013 both\u00a0 site-specific and generic with regard to nuclear power \u2013 through all possible forums. Many independent experts and scientists have already emphasized the various dangers of going ahead with the Koodankulam reactors.<\/p>\n<p>At this critical juncture, we urge that realizing a wider consultation is necessary before continuing the large-scale nuclear expansion that this government is already deeply engaged in.<\/p>\n<p>We entreat you to demand that the government immediately stop intimidating and harassing peaceful protesters.<\/p>\n<p>It is imperative that we immediately unite by raising our voices to defend democracy and the ethos of our country.\u00a0 Unacceptable precedents like the outright repression and silencing of the Koodankulam people\u2019s movement will have adverse implications for all future individual and collective struggles.<\/p>\n<p>With best regards,<\/p>\n<p>1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Prashant Bhushan<\/p>\n<p>2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Vandana Shiva<\/p>\n<p>3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Partha Chatterjee<\/p>\n<p>4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Admiral L.
