DOW and IITK

Looks like the DOW Chemicals is getting to sponsor a conference at IIT Kanpur.

“Students of Bhopal came to know of this conference sponsorship by DOW. They tried to get in touch with IITK and student body to screen their documentary on Bhopal Gas Tragedy history and current conditions. After being ignored for some time, they finally got an invitation. They were given a very short notice. The poor people had to rush. The SFS movie poster was a low-key one, put up for just one day before the screening, no publicity whatsoever. Only 40 students turned up. And the best part, the smart ass SFS secy censors the movie, telling the person responsible for screening that at no time in the movie should the word DOW appear. …”

    I want to remain anonymous. While boycotting Dow is a commenable and quite appreciable, how are we still allowing Praxair, a direct spun off of Union Carbide to be at their helm in India ?? No one can guarantee what is happening behind ?? Why are they not being boycotted ??
