It is often the late dawning of the `RIGHT' that results in a tragedy—at least, that is what every reader of the Greek and Shakespearean tragedies understands.

Today, witnessing what the TV channels and newspapers are bombarding the viewers/readers with—the uproar after the Bhopal District Court convicted eight former top managers of Union Carbide India Ltd. (UCIL) for causing death by `negligence' that resulted in the leakage of tens of thousands of pounds of methyl isocyanate, a highly toxic gas, from its plant in Bhopal on the night of December 2-3, 1984, which took the lives of more than 8,000 people and left thousands suffering its toxic aftereffects—and the cacophony that the political parties are making over the escape of Anderson from the country in 1984, demanding his extradition from the US, though he is not a subject of the current judgment of the court, one ends up with the same gnawing discomfort.
