Bhopal Gas Tragedy- Aftermath. India is developing, GDP is growing rapidly, we have a great PM (on paper atleast), a Gandhi parivar (Huh!), companies targeting bottom of the pyramid, rising incomes and what not. But we also have a pitiful Bhopal Gas Tragedy verdict. Warren Anderson lives a luxurious life in the Hamptons while the victims hopelessly search for a day where sun will shine on justice through the clouds of money that mercilessly blind the souls of the patrons of justice. The 7 former employees of the Union Carbide subsidiary, convicted of causing death by negligence and each sentenced to two years imprisonment were released on bail with a fine of Rs.1 lakh. Wow!  Warren Anderson was escorted on a government plane. What ay country. Huh! When the oil cleaning operations of deepwater horizon spill were going on, reports of ill effects of hydrocarbon fumes caused these operations to be ceased within 24 hours.
