My thoughts:-- Kasab versus Union Carbide

Kasab is a terrorist.
Union Carbide (UC) is a company.

He intentionally and willingly killed people.
UC disaster was negligence and led to a number of deaths.

He killed a few hundred people.
In Bhopal there were thousands of people who died.

26/11 left an impact in the heart.
2/12 left an impact in the heart, psyche and continues to show itself in deformed off-springs.

All demonstrations to do with Kasab make news.
Very few demonstration by the UC leak victims are covered.

Kasab is safely behind bars.
Industrial Toxic Waste from the UC factory continues to poison the water and soil in Bhopal.

India cheers as Kasab will be hanged.
There is hardly any concern about the Bhopal Gas Tragedy victims.

Kasab is sentenced to death within a year and a half.
No one is sentenced after 25 years of the UC disaster.
