Toxic Clouds, Blocking our minds

Imagine yourself in Bhopal on the midnight of December 2nd 1984 :

  • Overpopulated bastee just next to the deadly MIC gas tanks at Union Carbide
  • A marriage function in the bastee which usually faced tragedies, but was elated that night
  • A marriage in a railway colony in Old Bhopal
  • A poetic gathering at the Spice Square in Bhopal (assembly of hundreds of poets and poetry lovers)
  • Event of Ishtema that day (the only day when entire India convulged into Bhopal)

Imagine a plight of all these people when the fumes of the world's deadliest gas might have caught them - Completely unaware (of what was coming and what the gas actually is). Common fallout withing seconds of sniffing the gas:

Vomiting, defecation, urination, suffocation and exhaustion of oxygen......

Read on to know who were the villians and heros of this barbaric event in the entire history of India.
