As you started out saying, it is the consequences that count. People by and large remember Sugathakumari as a romantic environmentalist, someone who does not care about people. (As far as I know, she was also among those who also romanticized the lives of Adivasis). I think it is a crime (I am no priest to talk about sins) to turn majority of the people of the state against environmental activism, no matter how good one's intentions are.
