Columbus. 7. Never again. On the intervening night of December 2-3, 1984, methyl isocyanate gas leaking from Union Carbide's factory in Bhopal claimed more than 5,000 lives. More than half a million people still suffer the side effects of the exposure to the gas; the soil and groundwater have been contaminated and toxicity has crossed over to the second and third generations. This book describes the criminal negligence, incompetent governance and the apathy towards victims that have made Bhopal a continuing disaster. It gives voice to people's anguish and is also a testimony to the Centre for Science and Environment's and Down To Earth's long engagement with Bhopal. This book argues that India cannot afford to let Bhopal fade from public memory and concludes with a blueprint to avoid a similar tragedy.

[10 articles are in Hindi] "India, with its phenomenally long historical traditions has presented several contrasting images of women, praised as a goddess, extolled as the mother of humanity and skyrocketed as the real creator of mankind. In actual practice, however, women are stigmatized as the weaker sex meant to bear all kinds of human oppression and male atrocities. In the post-independent India, especially since 1980s, the empowerment of women has been recognized as a central issue in determining the reality of their status, yet all the provisions of the Constitution and the spate of legislations enacted to empower women have not been adequate to set them free from their traditional bondages, liabilities and restrictions. How could a woman take her rightful place in the socio political system that does nothing to build her capacities, nor creates access to information? It is very important that women are empowered and that their capacities are enhanced through a process of imparting literacy and educating them, as it has been rightly believed that education and empowerment of women are genetically linked phenomenon and they can be delinked only at a great peril of vast humanity. This book is based on the selected papers presented in two days to University Grants Commission sponsored by National Seminar on "Role of Education in Empowering Women in India". Based on the multidisciplinary approach, authors expressed their views on the concept and the process of women empowerment and identified the obstacles being faced in the way of empowering women and identified as well the strategies that could be adopted for their empowerment in reality."
