Bhopal - 20 years ...

It's 20 years gone .. the biggest ever tragedy of our country probably of the world occured in Bhopal ! We were all too young to realise or absorb the statistics and destruction .. there was no television to show us what happened like it happened in the earth quake in Gujrath or the riots there .. there were no reporters like Rajdeep and Burkha who could go right into
the sight of disaster and show us the full picture !

Union Carbide ! The word raises my heckles everytime I even hear the word ! I try not to buy Everready batteries for the same reason - if I have some other choice. Yet, the moral police of the world - America - hides its son of capitalism. What has the Indian govt done? Nothing ..
I haven't met any victim of this big tragedy. But I have read so much about their sufferings.
Dec 2, 1984 ! 20 years gone - there's no justice ! Where is Warren Anderson? Anyone knows ?

http://www.bhopal.net/oldsite/abscond.html - This is what I got from google. How much is he directly responsible for the tragedy ? I don't know. I only know the courts provide justice. They want him. But he's shielded. I'm not big enough to decide what is right, what is not .. But
this day I had some time to think.

Only hope that life of the poor are taken more seriously. This dastardly industrialization and corrupt politicians all over the world only makes it a more unsafe place to live in. If the same incident had occurred in a richer country, things would've been different .. that's when I begin to wonder if the Left is right !
