I think i read around 25 editorials of different news papers in the last 10 days or so. After going through the list of atrocities (still being committed) against the victims of Bhopal , i became 'numb'. So all the people who are part of the system says 'Systemic Failure'. So what the use of this god-damn system that has been failing for the last 25 years? As Arundathi Roy says in the case of Maoists, if the system or the so-called Democratic government is against you, to whom you should approach for help? What option you have other than fighting the 'state'? Honestly i think the correct, but very insensitive and numb explanation for this whole failure can be given in terms of 'Economics'.
Its the case of demand and supply. We have more supply of people in India and that too poor people. Therefore there's no demand for their life. So much for our vaunted 'Demographic Dividend'.
