Abstract

In August, 2021 tensions escalated in the state of Tamil Nadu along India’s southeastern coast when an altercation between fishers at sea led one to be hospitalized with serious injuries. A few days later, there was a riot between two fisher hamlets in neighbouring Puducherry (formerly Pondicherry) when ring-seine fishing nets were burnt at sea. The police had to intervene to stop the violence.
