Bhopal: A metaphor
Vandana Shiva
ecember 3, 2014, marks the
30th anniversary of the
terrible Bhopal gas tragedy,
which killed more than 3,000 people
almost immediately, another 8,000 in
the following days, and more than
20,000 in the last three decades.
Despite the tragedy of humongous
proportions, the people of Bhopal are
still fighting for justice despite the
apathy they continue to face. Bhopal
was a watershed moment. The
tragedy woke up the world to
industrial, chemical violence. The
chemicals being manufactured at the
Bhopal plant had their roots in
warfare.
Bhopal gas tragedy was a political,
economic, legal watershed for India
and the planet. It was a toxic tragedy
at two levels the leakage of a toxic
gas from a plant producing toxic
pesticides, the continued presence of
350 metric tonnes of hazardous toxic
waste from the now-defunct Union
Carbide India Ltds plant in Bhopal,
combined with a toxic influence of
co rpo ra ti on s on cou rts an d
successive governments. Legally,
Union Carbide and the US courts
escaped liability and responsibility for
the damage, setting a precedent of
governments shrugging their duty to
protect their citizens, taking away
citizens rights and sovereignty in
order to make settlements with
corporations.
The cases brought by the victims to
US courts were dismissed on the
grounds that the appropriate platform
was the Indian legal system, though
other cases involving US
corporations and foreign victims were
being heard in US courts. In 1999,
when the victims again approached
the US federal court seeking
compensation for the 1984 incident
as well as for the alleged ongoing
environmental contamination at and
around the Bhopal plant site, the case
was dismissed again.

And give to the orphans their
property and do not substitute the bad
for the good and do not manipulate
their property by adding it to your

If you fear that you shall not be able
to deal justly with the orphan girls,
then marry other women of your
choice: two, three or four, but if you
apprehend that you shall not be able
to act equitably then marry only one or
what your right hands own. That will
be more suitable, so that you may not
deviate.

give up to you a portion of it, then
consume it with pleasure and relish.

kind advice.
