A clear pointer to the ills India sufers from

The Anderson escape and all related matters of the Bhopal tragedy have to be seen as part of our slavish mentality which lacks the courage of conviction to stand up to our "superiors" in public interest. It is shameful that persons in positions of authority often conduct themselves as saleable and purchasable, spineless entities in the existing system. Truth has to come out, asserts Hari Jaisingh.

Bhopal is just one sample of capital's efficiency!

The test of a firm's success lies in its efficiency. That means quite a lot, much more than a simple one-line statement. But it is better to start with a set of important facts relating to whatever happended or did not happen in the process of the Bhopal gas tragedy and other directly and indirectly related matters, argues Prof. Kumaresh Chakravarty.
