520			_aA COLLECTION OF INCISIVE PIECES THAT NEWLY INVESTIGATE THE PERILOUS IMPACT OF THE MEGA DEVELOPMENT PROJECT PLANNED FOR THE GREAT NICOBAR ISLAND. A Rs 82,000 crore infrastructure mega project has been planned and given clearance to take place on the Great Nicobar Island. The plan to build a transshipment terminal, airport, powerplant and an entirely new township comes at great cost to an already fragile biodiversity, the culture of indigenous communities and even their languages. While authorities associated with it have tried their best to kick the project off the ground, they have failed to cover up the many legal and ethical blind spots that now threaten to put the project in murky water. Island on Edge follows up on The Great Nicobar Betrayal in an equally sharp and punchy fashion, covering new grounds to investigate the pitfalls of the Great Nicobar megaproject. This collection of articles presents research and data gathered about legal proceedings, diplomatic exchanges and on-ground realities on the Great Nicobar Island in a simple but in-depth manner. An urgent and astute study of this moment in Indian legal history, Island on Edge is a crucial addition to modern environmental thought.
