Let down by our own people...

Whenever I think of Bhopal one thing which still pains me is the justice denied to us. And mostly it's not the Americans who are to be blamed, but our own people - our very own Indian people - Indian Govt., CBI and the 'great' Indian Justice system, which till now have not been able to extardicate Anderson or should I say, have not shown the will to get and prosecute him.

Till now, the very own government did nothing to move the poisonous material lying there in the factory which has now seeped into the ground water causing dangerous diseases like cancer. To add salt to the injury, our 'un-educated' 'illiterate' ministers point that the materials are not poisonous and have not caused any issues. Let's do one thing - why not make these ministers drink that water and let them use the water for sometime, so that we are convinced whatever they are saying is correct. But those unworthy people will not take risk with there lives.



Our great medical system, which still works on copying the drugs, or the best scientists which we produce, could not decipher the code of Methyl iso-Cyanide and come up with anti-dote for those. Why should we, even after 25 years from tragedy, wait for Union Carbide which is now taken over by Dow Chemicals to give the documents related to ill effects of the gas. Can't we ourselves try to solve the mystery.

And finally, even CSR, which everyone is talking about will not make Dow Chemicals, share the secret of MIC gas, even if it means further generations of people could probably be saved.

I will never forget the horrors of Bhopal neither should the world.

Note: I have intentionally not put one photo, of a young child being buried which is heart rendering.
