The mythological tale of Sagar Manthan, or the churning of the ocean, holds deeper parallels with modern deep sea mining endeavours. This paper explores how the narrative of Sagar Manthan can be metaphorically applied to the context of deep-sea mining in today's world. By drawing comparisons between the extraction of Amrita (nectar of immortality) and valuable minerals from the ocean floor, we examine the applications of deep-sea mining technologies and the potential rewards it offers in meeting the global demand for critical minerals. Deep sea mining has emerged as a potential solution to meet the ever-increasing global demand for valuable metals and minerals. With depleting terrestrial reserves and growing demand for these resources, exploiting the vast mineral wealth lying on the ocean floor has become an attractive proposition. However, the practice of deep-sea mining raises significant environmental, economic, and technological challenges. This paper provides an in-depth analysis of the concept of deep-sea mining, exploring its potential benefits and drawbacks, as well as the current state of technology and its impact on the marine environment.
