American Funds for Our Anti-Koodankulam Struggle? A few months ago, this correspondent asked an American diplomat during the course of a friendly, off-the-record conversation, if the US was covertly behind all the protests against the Kudankulam nuclear power plant. The diplomat laughed thoroughly. Then, noting that he was aware of such an impression going around, he provided some perspective to show why such a supposition could not be true. Kudankulam, he said, was a landmark. If Kudankulam had not come, no other nuclear power project would ever take off in India. The US, therefore, was keen on the project coming up. M. Ramesh, "Kudankulam may renew US firms’ focus on nuke sector," Business Line, July 22, 2013.
