According to Ghosh, the current Earth problem is akin to prior biopolitical battles. He claims that there is nothing positive can be stated about the current state of the globe. He claims that violence against humans is also violence against the environment in his new book, The Nutmeg's Curse.

Yes. I aim to stay upbeat and avoid being a storyteller of tragedies and calamities. Things on Earth, however, are not quite right. In comparison to the scenario, even this book is uplifting. "Let's nuke us instead," I believe the president of Palau, a Pacific island nation, declared at the recent Glasgow Climate Conference (COP 26). Because the global crisis resembles a war. In my book, I compare and contrast what is currently happening on the internet to previous biopolitical warfare.

When you talk about the robbery of nutmeg cultivation on the Banda Islands and the ensuing killing by Dutch colonialists in the Jallianwala Bagh style, you're referring to the ongoing pillage of resources and consumption by powerful nations. This is a regular occurrence... There are some antecedents for what happened in the Banda Islands on the Asian continent. The devastation on the Banda Islands is unimaginable. In 1621, the Dutch arrived on the Banda Islands. They slaughtered thousands of people to acquire control of the island's resources, enslaving the survivors and wiping out the whole population.

It was violence performed in the name of total wealth on the Banda Islands. It was the use of violence to seize control over it. We're seeing this approach implemented all over the world. Wherever humans are subjected to violence, it eventually becomes a resource-exploitation practise that leads to environmental violence. Plundering resources has also become a shockingly violent activity. In the Niyamagiri region, bauxite mining is one of the most violent activities.

They are destroying the entire mountain as well as the ecology in order to extract a small amount of aluminium. That is the dreadful thing. You're referring to Emmanuel Wallerstein's claim that five countries account for 95% of written history. It is the storey of the United Kingdom, France, the United States, Germany, and italy throughout history. Has the situation changed drastically since then?
