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.

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. …”
