In 1987, the government of India sold the victims of Bhopal down the river three years after the countrys worst-ever industrial accident, agreeing on a figure of $470 million from Union Carbide as full and final settlement. Many of those victims continue to languish without adequate relief or care to this day. The Fukushima nuclear accident has already cost the Japanese government close to $20 billion. If the Modi government is today willing to sign away the rights of the people of India for compensation from a nuclear accident before it has even happened, is it willing to formally enshrine the principle of adequate public compensation for victims in law?
