In the history of modern India no tragedy was as gruesome as the Bhopal Gas disaster.
Year after year the media of the country and the people revisit the
intervening night of 2-3 December, 1984 when over 500,000 people were
exposed to methyl isocyanate resulting in the deaths of 8,000 people
immediately and 10-20 thousand more in total. The incident is also a
glaring example of the pace at which the judicial system of India
progresses with such cases; it took 26 years for the court to pronounce
all eight accused guilty. This single tragedy is also enough to show the
lack of political will in Indian leaders since the extradition of Warren Anderson, prime accused in the case, has yet not happened.

it's really sad how the judicial system works in India. and you have correctly pointed out the lack of political will, perhaps the root cause of everything.
That's true. It is, sadly, the root cause of everything wrong in this country.
