	An ongoing tragedy
		THE sea is not kind to the fishermen in the Land's End district of India and for most part of the year the coast is characterised by high winds and volatile surf conditions, which make it impossible for fishermen to launch their craft.
		Kanyakumari has the largest number of fishermen in Tamil Nadu, for example, but the district has just one mini-harbour, the one at Chinnamuttom, which local fishermen have been guarding zealously as their exclusive preserve.
		Fishermen from the western coast of the district are hence forced to live as unwelcome itinerant "gypsies" in search of favourable fishing grounds as far away as Rameswaram in the eastern coast of the State on one side and Vizhinjam, Kollam, Kochi and Mangalore along the Kerala-Karnataka coast.

	A question of accountability
		Of the 828 deaths reported in Kanyakumari, 370 were from Colachal, one of the 51 fishing towns and villages that were devastated by the tsunami.
		According to the Collector, since the death-toll in Kanyakumari was not as high as it was in Nagapattinam or Cuddalore, a "misconception" had gained ground that the scale of devastation too was not as large as in the other districts.
		Coastal Kanyakumari ticks to the tune of the Church and the writ of the government is of little consequence.
