Abstract : The discourse on Environmentalism in Indian context, has by now has acquired critical significance. Issues relating to environment have definite on the public concern as well as the concerns of scholarship on environmentalism. Performativity in violence as enacted by the state arguably with the motivation of private interest has been well documented by the scholars. It is in this sense integration of environmentalism acquires significance both for creating social vigilance as well as interrogating the state. However, in this presentation the speaker would like to shift the attention from political significance to moral significance that is internal to understanding and practice of environmentalism in India. The speaker would like to define moral significance in a particular way so as to give credence to the notion of sacrifice that certain social group make while dealing with the performativity of violence. The speaker makes an association of moral significance with the notion of sacrifice, which tends to produce a painful hierarchy in the normative categories that underlie and renew the ‘embattled field’ of environmentalism.
