A wait so long...

25 years the Bhopal gas tragedy, the victims continue to wait and suffer while the Indian Government and Dow Chemical turn an apathetic eye towards those affected. Isn't 25 years time enough to put something right that was so blatantly wrong. Doesn't Dow Chemical have enough means to clean up Bhopal? The answer is most definitely yes, but the total disregard of human life and suffering is appalling.

I wonder why haven't the local constituents pushed for sufficient relief and sanitation of the affected areas? Are all our politicians so corrupt? And if so why are the citizens of this country so blatantly overlook the miseries affecting their brothers? While growing up, the Bhopal gas tragedy was one of the most recurring themes of discussion inside class and out of it. It's been a long time since I left school and the situation has barely changed.

It's a matter of SHAME. For ALL OF US !!
