An amazing article in the The Nation<\/a><\/strong> about two ladies – Rashida Bee and Champa Devi Shukla – who have been fighting the last 20 years to bring justice to those affected by the Bhopal tragedy.<\/p>\n

Last week they won the Goldman Environmental Prize. My favourite quote is one by Champa Devi Shukla who thought someone somewhere had made a mistake. She said<\/p>\n

. “We knew a few individuals who had won awards,” she explained, “[but] they were all educated people, spoke English and had e-mail accounts.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What these two ladies have done over the last two decades is nothing short of sensational. They have taken on the mighty US corporation, the uncaring Indian Government – all the way to where they are just a few steps away from justice.<\/p>\n

Even if they lose – they really have won.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
