U.S. CORPORATE CRIME KILLS THOUSANDS IN BHOPAL, INDIA;
Queer Indian Scholar Speaks Out Against US Corporate Crime In Bhopal; and Interview with Gay Filipino Priest Working for Social Justice

U.S. Corporate Crime Kills Thousands In Bhopal, India; A Queer Indian Scholar Speaks Out

In the world’s worst industrial disaster, extreme corporate negligence led to a devastating gas explosion in 1984 at a pesticides factory in Bhopal, India then owned by Union Carbide, now Dow Chemical Company. Since the night of that disaster, over 25,000 people have been killed due to chemical exposure and its aftermath, and over 500,000 remain seriously impacted by chronic health conditions, generational birth defects, and ongoing groundwater contamination in Bhopal. No Union Carbide or Dow officials have ever been held criminally responsible, and the company only paid victims and families of those killed trivial amounts of compensation.

Survivors of this corporate crime and organizers of the large-scale India-wide fightback are currently on a 17-stop U.S. tour to raise awareness and reinvigorate solidarity with Bhopal in the U.S., where Dow Chemical is based. During their US visits, they are convening with numerous environmental justice organizations to highlight similarities between the struggles in India and U.S. communities of color. They are also sharing stories on how Bhopalis have taken care of each other and maintained the struggle through 40 years of injustice.

Jiya Pandya, a queer scholar from India

In this segment, we interview Jiya Pandya, a queer scholar from India working on disability studies and South Asian history, completing a PhD in History and Gender & Sexuality Studies at Princeton University. Jiya is currently organizing with the International Campaign for Justice in Bhopal and participating in the U.S. national tour with the disaster survivors. Among other topics, we discussed her statement, “The campaign for justice in Bhopal is a queer issue.”

In a classic example of cooptation by neoliberal capitalism, Jim Fetterling, the current CEO of Dow Chemical, is an out gay businessperson who has won numerous awards for diversity and inclusion. During Pride month a few years ago, Fetterling said that "if you want to make a difference in the world, you have to take action." Meanwhile, Sanjana Singh, an LGBT+ survivor of the Bhopal disaster, has said, “Fighting discrimination against LGBT+ people teaches us to fight against all forms of discrimination in society. It is wrong for Fitterling, who came out as gay in 2014, to make claims of inclusivity while heading a company that starkly discriminates against the Bhopal survivors.”
