Excellent, if depressing, discussion about the $10 billion project to destroy the Great Nicobar Island, threatening the nesting ground of the largest turtle in the world, cutting over a million trees, and relocating the indigenous population of the island, all to turn it into a shipping and tourism hub. Also goes into the regulatory capture and corruption that allowed this to happen over the past decade or so and the excuses of "national security/defence" etc. used by the govt.
I found another discussion with the author that I haven't watched yet and here's the book they mentioned, The Great Nicobar Betrayal. I'll definitely read it.
