The book "Enmakaje" is considered a significant literary work that documents the tragedy of Endosulfan pesticide victims in Kasaragode district of Kerala.
Endosulfan is a highly toxic pesticide that was aerially sprayed on cashew plantations in Kasaragode for many years, resulting in severe health issues, birth defects, and environmental damage in the region.
Ambikasuthan Mangad's work brings attention to this environmental and human tragedy through literature.
The book is named after Enmakaje panchayat in Kasaragode, one of the areas severely affected by Endosulfan spraying.
The author used his literary skills to highlight the suffering of the victims and bring wider attention to their plight, making it both an important literary work and a document of social significance in Kerala's history of environmental activism.
