  • Sivakasi (tamoul : சிவகாசி « sivagāsi ») est une ville indienne de l'état du Tamil Nadu située dans le district de Virudhunagar à environ 70 km au sud-ouest de Madurai. En 2001, la population de son agglomération était de 121 358 habitants. Sivakasi est une ville industrielle, où est concentrée une très large part de la production indienne d'allumettes, de pétards et de feux d'artifice. Cette activité, qui emploie des milliers de travailleurs, lui a valu à plusieurs reprises d'être placée sous les projecteurs de la presse internationale. Dans les années 1970 et 1980, c'est le travail des enfants qui est dénoncé - il a depuis été officiellement interdit. Plus récemment, des explosions accidentelles dans plusieurs usines, ayant couté la vie à des dizaines d'ouvriers, ont attiré l'attention des médias. (fr)
