Fishing Community's interface with Modernity ends in VIOLENCE

FISHERMEN AGAIN !!!!!
This news report reads like the story of a movie. Or it can be dramatized to make suitable for a movie. The remnants or traces of village/community life  of some Indians, could be garnered from this news report. Surely the situation presently existing in these fishing villages will not be to the liking of   modern political parties since they will be unable to influence the villagers directly, overriding the village elders.And the community life existing here is in absolute variance with the historical accounts the reformers & revolutionaries want us to believe !!!The report seems to suggest that the elders are acting wisely in the larger interests of the community. And remarkably the interface with modernity (here pvt. port) has ended in VIOLENCE !!!!
