On the peaceful night of 2nd December 1984, while the poverty ridden people of Bhopal had just won the every day war to get two meals & were not yet fully asleep when a gas leaked which was destined to change not only their lives but of many generations to come. While the government of the day provided relief after giving a way out to the main defaulters, many had perished and many unforunate survived to experience "living hell". Despite many voices from civil society, media & a few kind hearted thinkers, nothing changed for good. However a pogrom which claimed lesser lives in the same year a few months earlier still remains a sizzling topic in Indian politics. The reason - Religion was involved in it( The Sikh Pogrom).
With no hope of any justice in future, we can only wonder who is more unfortunate? those who were buried the same weak or those who survived for animal existence. Humanity was murdered by Union Carbide, the US company responsible and is raped everyday by Indian Government.
Shame on the largest democracy
