SYMBOLS OF ETHNIC CLEANSING IN LAKSHADWEEP.


Pages that are erased from the history may be the pages with a different story. But being different is a way of uniqueness that has to be accepted rather than erased. New administrative reforms in Lakshadweep islands is clearly taking a trajectory of ethnic cleansing with its justification of tourism and environment protection. 
                        Introduction of reformative criminal laws in a society with least criminal offence records is not just irrational but symbolises fascist tendencies to penalise anyone by painting them as antisocial. Threats that may arise after these reforms clearly stands against continued practice of fishing and also bring down the livelihoods of majority of the population. These suggested reforms also judges the dining habits of its subject and forcefully strikes a bitter legal line on people's taste buds..
                 There is no doubt that 
sustainable development and economic progress in any society is necessary, but the reforms with greater impact on people and their livelihoods can no longer considered to be progressive and thus should never be implemented in our Island territory without the mandate of the people. Something that force a major section of people to row away , that's against the spirit of democracy and is nothing but a way of indigenous ethnic cleansing.
