A Matter of Shame

It is a matter of great national shame that to this day the victims of the Bhopal gas disaster and those displaced by the Narmada dam have still not received justice.

Last Saturday, I witnessed a peaceful protest for these causes on M.G. Road, Bangalore. Had any photographer decided to take a picture as I was crossing the road, it would have been a fine sight. A software engineer wearing a cap clearly showing his background of India's no.1 institute turning away from the protest.
