After 28 years, revisiting Bhopal gas tragedy

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.
