He writes on the complex interplay between science, politics,
nature, culture, and religion. During a career spanning over two decades, he
has tried to unravel the knotty entanglements of science with society through
stories such as the shady politics of climate change, the hazards faced by
workers at the world’s largest ship-breaking yard in Gujarat, rot and
corruption in Indian scientific establishment, and the repression of indigenous
people in India’s extractive industries.
Apart from writing columns on science and its discontents
and malcontents, he is interested in
unravelling the nexus between nation-states, corporations and global
institutions, including media, academia and NGOs, in the murky and deceptive
games of environmental geopolitics. He has edited two books on the seamy side
of India’s mining industry and one on the politics of energy in South Asia.
Kalshian was a British Chevening fellow at Westminster University in 1998 and
Nieman fellow at Harvard University in 1999-2000. He has been a member of the
Washington DC-based International Consortium of Investigative Journalists
(ICIJ) since 2001.
