Is India’s Great Nicobar Project a Game-Changer or an Ecological Disaster?

Описание: India’s ₹72,000 crore Great Nicobar Project aims to transform a remote island into a global trade and defense hub — a Hong Kong of the Bay of Bengal. But this ambitious plan threatens ancient forests and the survival of the Shompen tribe, risking irreversible environmental damage. With ports, airports, power plants, and townships set to rise, the project is a high-stakes clash between strategic growth and ecological preservation. Will India’s bold vision secure its place in the Indo-Pacific or trigger an ecological crisis? The future of both people and nature hangs in the balance.
