India has set up one of the first national-level legal bodies, the National Green Tribunal (NGT), dedicated exclusively to address cases under environmental laws. My research follows a case filed in the NGT by an indigenous community against a hydel power project in the western Himalayan state of Himachal Pradesh, examining how diverse and opposing parties in this case represent themselves as environmentalists. It reveals a narrative sphere where entirely opposite actions and actors are legitimated in and through the NGT in environmental terms. This article suggests that green courts provoke green narratives and examines how diverse actors respond and engage with this demand. Individuals are interpellated in this juridical field to understand and present themselves as environmentalists. Environment is a meta-narrative in this juridical field, constituting environmentalist subjectivity of all actors within this field by the very process of hailing them.

印度建立了首批国家级法律机构之一的国家绿色法庭（NGT），专门处理环境法下的案件。我的研究是在一个土著社区向NGT提出的一项针对喜马拉雅西部喜马拉雅州的海德尔电力项目的案例中进行的，该案例研究了这种情况下对立的各方如何代表自己是环境保护主义者。它揭示了一个叙事领域，在该领域中，完全相反的行动和参与者在环境方面通过NGT得以合法化。本文建议绿色法院挑起绿色的叙事，并研究各种参与者如何回应这一要求并与之互动。在这个法学领域中，人们受到困扰，以理解自己并表现为环保主义者。在这个司法领域，环境是一种元叙事，
