The argument is whether we should rip up the ocean floor for minerals, and it matters because India's pursuing these contracts for "progress" while coastal communities here face erosion and dying fisheries already. My reality as an activist in Mumbai is seeing how "development" always sacrifices the poor first—the seabed is just another frontier for that same exploitation. So I oppose it, because we fight for *jal*, *jangal*, *zameen* here, and now we must fight for the *samundar* too.
