Join Blogbharti facebook group.The 22nd anniversary of the Bhopal Gas Tragedy is quickly approaching, and Sambhavna-ites are constantly running back and forth in hysteria, even if nothing gets accomplished. But a lot is getting accomplished. We will have an exhibition for 3 days in an auditorium, a candlelight vigil, a masked march, and probably more things that I am not yet aware of.
I am glad to hear our friends at Sambhavna are running around doing things, but cannot agree with you that nothing gets accomplished. The long walk to Delhi earlier this year, which involved 50 mainly elderly people who by all rights should have been in bed being cared for, trudging 500 miles through scalding heat to see a Prime Minister who did not find time to meet them, did accomplish this, that the central government have set up the long desired monitoring committee, are moving on providing clean water to the bastis, and many other things. Besides which, they are helping thousands of gas- and water-affected people. I know you only used a figure of speech and that your heart is with the Sambhavnaites, as you call them, but I think it worthwhile to point these things out.
