We have history of being spineless and servile. How many times have we been invaded in the past? Should I lend my fingers for you to count? It happens again….not a surprise huh?
In today’s world Money and power can erase sins, tears and blood. You can walk into India, kill people and walk away without being reprimanded. Well atleast that is the message we get from the letter sent by Dow Chemical chairman to Indian Ambassador.
Dow Chemicals has a history of killing people with their chemicals and silently filing for bankruptcy. It was asbestos poisoning, Union carbide tragedy, silicone breast implants – I just can’t imagine what more catastrophes are in the pipeline?
This is one of the obstacles that Dow Chemical wants removed before it re-enters India to do business, a move which the Indian government has been quietly encouraging.
When Jihadi’s and Ladens walked into US and brought the American economy on it knees Bush waged a war against them in the Middle East. Union Carbide tragedy killed 22,000 people but we let Dow walk away scotch free – Is it Gandhigiri?
Killing innocent Indians with Made in USA knives - Is it Gandhigiri?
Government of Gujarat signing a JV with Dow - Silently inviting Dow to start another disaster in India – Is it Gandhigiri?
The Chairman of Dow in his letter has shown no sense of shame or regret or commitment, but meekly seeking the Indian Government for a come back in the Indian soil?
Indian software companies take pride in announcing their client lists “45 of Fortune 500” aren’t these MNCs’ 45 of Evil 500? Should we maintain their IT system when they have killed 22,000 people and mutated innocent lives for life and paid no price to remediate? Should our IT engineers not exercise their social responsibility?
Where is social responsibility that our Corporations are talking about? Just lip service, huh?
Indian PM Manmohan Singh talks about social responsibility of corporations, where is the responsibility of Indian government?
America walked into Iraq on the pretext that Iraq had WMD and wiped peace and prosperity in their country. These MNCs are walking into Indian in a similar fashion to dump their waste and obliterate India.
The Capitalistic West is behaving like terrorist. When will India and Indians learn to stand up for their own safety and security?
Prudence or Providence – when will it work, when will we wake up?
