SEASON'S GREETINGS

BHOPAL KE DAANAV (THE MONSTERS OF BHOPAL)

Union Carbide Corporation (UCC) CEO/Chairman – Warren Anderson.

Indian business partner - Keshub Mahindra. 

The Bhopal factory manager - J. Mukund.

The names of those convicted are: V.P. Gokhale, managing director; 

Kishore Kamdar, vice-president; J. Mukund, works manager; 

S.P. Chowdhury, production manager; K.V. Shetty, plant superintendent; and  S.I. Qureshi, production assistant.

All these names of monsters of Bhopal 84 are missing in the various smarty articles by equally smart Indian print media after 30 years of torture and 10,000 deaths.. Especially in the big dailies, on 2nd December 2014. They smartly shy away from the complete truth. Only Anderson is the culprit and others from India are holy cows.

Few days back I emailed my drawing series ‘GASSED'  which I am working on since 2010, along with my article to one of the most popular dailies’ in Delhi. But as usual they dropped it and just taken a cue from my series titled ‘GASSED’, as their heading ‘LEAK THAT GASSED A GENERATION’, for one of their shoddy article on 2nd December print in Delhi. I have no complaints, at least some part of my work got appreciated. 

Only bloody data and more data are published in various print issues. The majority print media houses in India, except for a few, are biased and do paid journalism. Now it’s 30 years down the road, so no one cares for a dying issue like BHOPAL Gas killings. No serious campaigning by the Indian media. 

Why are we shying away? Why hide the complete truth buddy...why do such shoddy reporting, without any fire in the content. 

Here, I have drawn a single monster with multiple heads to show the enormity of the individual. They (monsters) were many people but with a single face of evil.

The sufferings of the victims of Bhopal ‘GASSED’ tragedy, was a smart cover-up by the Indian Government (the political rulers of that time) and it is presently being ignored by all of us. One can dare to ignore the directives of the highest court of the land, Supreme Court of India. Anderson is dead, let him rote in hell. But what about the Indian operatives of Union Carbide. Bhopal is a case of mass killings, a simple case of genocide by few monsters. And monsters have no religion or nationalities. They are just killers…DAANAV!
