For me, it is the phenomenon fountainhead wherefrom the millionaire billionaire class emerged to sell of the nation practicing brutal apartheid with fatal Methyl Isocyanate which killed our fellow fellow Indian citizens for whom no bell tolls anywhere.
Dr Satpathy conducted over 800 autopsies within days after the tragedy. He had also examined the foetuses of pregnant women who died that night and had concluded that the toxins would be passed on for generations.
"Union Carbide had said in its manual that the methyl isocyanate (MIC) would not cross the placental blood barrier level. But the same toxin in the pregnant ladies who died that night was also found in their foetuses. MIC had clearly crossed the placental barrier. It would have adverse effect even in the future generations," Dr Satpathy claimed.

A study conducted by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) had conducted a study between 1985-94 and found that psychiatric disorders in children exposed to the toxic gas was 12.66 per cent as compared to just 2.4 per cent among children not exposed to the gas.
Whatever compensation the victims managed to get, no one would get in future as India signed Nuclear agreements with all developed nations modifying the liabilities of the multinational companies involved with industrial disaster and the modified minimum governance taking over helms does ensure to bail out every war criminal against humanity so that no Union Carbide, no Dow Chemicals and No Anderson would be tried anywhere on this earth.
Thus, Bhopal Gas tragedy remains the foundation of the glittering India at sale and we, the miserable Indian biometric digital citizens are predestined to die as the people died in Bhopal to seek eternal abode and it is all about our business friendly neo liberal blind religious nationalism, the infinite capital of global imperialism unipolar.
As on 2nd December some Mohammad Zafar wrote on Facebook wall, the status has not changed as yet and has not to change at all.

Today is 2nd Dec. The Bhopal Disaster day.

Why government Supported UCIL plant and why it was not interested in acting strongly against UCIL plant? First because of foreign aid, second Many Indian business bodies were also its part and some examples are given below.

Some facts about Relation of bureaucrats, politicians and Union Carbide Plant.

UCIL plant was seen as an example of Industrial growth in India. In M P state board textbooks factory was shown as a tourist spot. The relation between factory’s top officials and state government was very strong. Chief Minister Arjun Singh’s family based welfare society had got big donations from UCIL. (Rajgopal)

In Union Carbide factory’s employee list, many were relatives of top bureaucrats, businessmen and politicians of the state. For example the Public relation Officer A K Awasthi was a nephew of former state education minister, Narasimha Rao Dikshit. The purchase officer R. P. J. Rana was the brother-in-law of R K Khanna, special secretary to the government of Madhya Pradesh. A timekeeper Devinder Singh was the nephew of Union Minister Digvijay Singh. (Rajgopal 1987).
Two days before world's worst industrial disaster's 30th anniversary, Amnesty International Secretary General Salil Shetty on Sunday said that the Narendra Modi-led NDAgovernment should raise issues pertaining to the Bhopal Gas tragedy with US President Barack Obama during his visit to India in January next year.
"It is time to give victims and survivors the compensation they deserve. It is time to clean up the site and toxic wastes. And it is time to ensure justice and bring Dow Chemicals and Carbide to book," he told reporters here.
Dow Chemicals had taken over Union Carbide Corporation, US, years after the December 1984 toxic gas leak from its plant here killed thousands of people and affected more than 5.5 lakh people.

Shetty said previous governments let Union Carbide off the hook by underestimating the number of people killed and maimed.
"The Indian government has to urgently re-verify the data against health records and make the figures credible and in the line with Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and even state government records. The recent announcement by Union Minister in this regard is a welcome move," he said.
"Most importantly, for three decades, Union Carbide has used USA as a safe haven from criminal charges to dodge culpable homicide. The Bhopal Chief Judicial Magistrate has called Union Carbide six times but because of their consistent no show, has called it an 'absconder'," Shetty said.
Demanding that the top rung US officials of Dow and Union
Carbide is brought to book, Shetty said after 25 years, only seven Union Carbide India officials have been convicted and not a single American employee who was on top of the chain of the command has been brought to justice.
He said that a foreign company's disregard for Indian judicial system is outrageous.
"It is time that the Modi government takes Bhopal tragedy as a serious issue with Obama when he visits India on January 26," the global human rights watchdog member said.

"This poll shows that the verdict in the court of public opinion is clear. Justice has not been delivered for Bhopal, and people will not stand for it.”

Shetty recalled the US government's response to BP oil spill in Gulf of Mexico in 2010 where the oil major was held liable and had to pay a whopping USD 20 billion as fine and for the clean-up.
"The double standards are outrageous. If the same disaster was caused by an Indian company on US soil, there is no way they would have got away with it. The US has to show that it treats all human lives as equal, whether you are poor Muslim woman in Bhopal or a US citizen in Louisiana who suffered from the BP oil spill.
"We know that the safety standard in the West Virgina plant of Union Carbide was much higher than Bhopal. It is time to right these wrongs," he said.
