Fuck you. Yes you. All of you and your ‘Bart’s People‘ pseudo-journalism.
The REAL indian ‘9/11’ happened this day 24 years ago, at almost exactly the same time that i am posting this article on my blog. I speak of the Bhopal Gas Disaster, caused by the negligent actions(or inaction) of the Union Carbide corporation, which is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Dow Chemicals. If i had watched only the corporate news media here, i would have forgotten it too. I had to watch Lok Sabha TV (the indian version of CSPAN – link goes to their webcast which requires RealPlayer) to realize this fact.
Of course, it goes unsaid that things have not improved for the victims of that disaster or other small-scale disasters that pepper our regular news reads. there are still no tough worker safety laws, nor are the regulations enforced with any regularity. it wouldnt be shocking if we had another one in the making as well.

Thanks for reminding. Very valid points you put up here. You can blame Bush, Pakistan, BJP, Commies – but nobody dare touch the corporates! (and I remember a raw which was there when the news came that BJP had Dow as one of its contributors).
there was no media at tht time. that explains everything :)
And corporates are untouchables, thanks to their fat kitties that close many a mouth…
The 1993 Mumbai blasts best deserve the title. Its just a short-sighted media ploy to keep up the tempo.
Happy that you brought up a Simpsons episode. We would all be better off if everybody watched it!
like your twitter name, mr jesvin :)
You had me at Fuck You.
