Dirty business: Kaangress enabling Union Carbide's return to India

Victims of the 1984 Bhopal gas tragedy, the worst industrial accident in history are yet to be compensated fully. Dow Chemicals, the successor company to Union Carbide was apparently the sole supplier of Napalm to the US military in Vietnam. Sonia, Manmohan and Chidambaram are enabling the return of this corporate to Indian soil whose lawyers advanced the revolting argument that an American life was worth more than an Indian life, based on their dollar earnings and therefore offered peanuts in terms of compensation.....

Perhaps the UPA coalition is abiding with the wishes of the sainted Agnes Bojaxhiu who famously asked the people of Bhopal to "Forgive, forgive, forgive."

Most of the people who died in the Bhopal gas leak were mohamedans...

That is why there is so much activism regarding this, till today.

I dont think it would have stretched so long if majority of the victims of the gas leak were Hindus.
