Bhopal Gas Tragedy

Bhopal Gas Tragedy verdict came out. Long awaited for sure. But, now we realize that it better should have been in wraps. At least, we would have been saved from this feeling of shame that we have now !!!

For the governance of this nation, 20,000 deaths and 25 years of constant suffering of the future generations are equal to just 2 YEARS !!!!!!! I don't understand how the Judge could even say this !!! Justice Ahmadi says that it was according to what law provides. Probably His Lordship has not heard that JUSTICE IS MUCH MORE THAT MERE CODES AND PRECEDENTS. By no stretch of imagination is this justified.

Anderson, the main culprit, was let outta this country by the State plane and then the reason is given that it was for the security reasons !! As it was in a debate that if it was necessary for the security reasons to take him outta Bhopal then he could have been kept anywhere else but why outta Country ??!!??

They are having a DEBATE whether this verdict should be changed. It took 26 years for the judgment to come out and would, surely, take 26 more for it to be changed or even more since the matter is actually decided !!!!

I think they are quite a fan of Joseph Stalin who once said "ONE DEATH IS A CASUALTY AND THOUSAND DEATHS ARE A STATISTIC " . Here we had 20,000 !!! So nothing to worry. WE THE PEOPLE OF INDIA (The opening lines of the grand norm of the nation, The Constitution) have again been made to realize that the Government is By Us and For Us only on the papers.

Even the Bhopal Memorial Hospital that was created only for the Bhopal victims, now, treats only the rich and powerful. Recently there was a news that a lady who was a victim was denied by the hospital and she later died.

I suggest they read a bit of history in free time. It is engraved on the soul of the bygone era that whenever the Government has crushed the people more than their endurance, the governance and those responsible were granted their tombstones, be it Louis XIV of France whose head was chopped off or Benito Mussolini who was shot and later hanged by the meat hook or the Egyptian revolution !!!! I so wish that people of this country wake up now and bring the revolution. Its long awaited guys.

Beware u buggers. Fear the future.
