Fishing Communities of India: What you're seeing here is one of the densest domestic tourism hubs of India, roping in hundreds to thousands of visitors per day. This is the Tip of India, Kanyakumari, bound by water on most of its boundary, and fishing industry flourishes almost all round the year, every year, with an ocean and two seas meeting up here. Yet, these fishing communities, even today, remain poor, under developed, and frankly, uncared for, except for disaster reliefs or annual financial allocations. Despote being situated on banks of thriving tourist attractions like the Thiruvalluvar Statue, the Vivekananda Memorial or the ThriveniSangam, not mentioning that it is the tip of India, the southern most part of this peninsula where fisheries and industrial fishing corporations sprang up decades ago, these communities remain neglected. Boats that are decades old, rusty and almost definitely not up to safety standards are tripped for their daily wares. Chatting with the locals, you'll learn that most live in low lying areas, that run a high risk of flooding often. Although the city itself is progressive and has one of the largest wind farms of the country, with hotels and restaurants modernising and earning in wads, these local shoreline people still live a century behind their time. ~A.J. . #tamilnadudiaries #tamilnadutourism #tamilnaduphotography #vivekanandarockmemorial #vivekanandarock #thiruvalluvarstatue #tipofindia #kanyakumari #kanyakumaridiaries #kanyakumariphotography #kanyakumaritourism #travelrealindia #picxy #TLPicks #natgeoyourshot #LPMIxWPD #lpmiphotochallenge #indiadiaries #indiapictures #natgeoyourshot #lpmicontest #traveldiariesindia #_soi #coloursofindia #_m_o_i #indiantravelgallery #fishermendiaries #photographersofindia #poio_ #_coi (at Poompuhar Shipping Corporation) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2USdC7ph5m/?igshid=1uf0jihhbar5f
