SOS..Sold Our Souls!!

SOS..has always stood for Save Our Souls..an internationally recognized call for help by people in any kind of distress.
Any person hearing this call would make the saving of the person in distress his no.1 priority.
Our government has given it a new interpretation..SOLD OUR SOULS!!
Shameful but true!!
20000 dead..over 300000 affected by the biggest industrial accident at the Union Carbide plant in Bhopal.
And......
The govt. had made saving of the company and the ceo of Union Carbide and the subsequent owner of Union Carbide..Dow Chemicals..their 1st priority!!
The govt. has assured Dow Chemicals that they would not be responsible for cleaning up the site that is still leaching poisons into the soil and the water table!!
Who is going to do it?!!
A rough estimate is that it is going to cost over a 1000 crores!!
Whose money.. Yours and mine?!!
I think the only thing of dignity left to the dead victims of Bhopal were their souls..
and the Government has sold that too!!
SOS..SOLD OUR SOULS!!

  1. I have not bought eveready (made by Union Carbide) batteries since the tragedy in Bhopal. Now, of course, theres a lot of selection...but at one time it wasn't that easy.
