P. Shukla To: Dear all, Prof. A. P. Shukla, who retired many years back from Kanpur IIT as Professor of Physics, has been organically involved in various People's Movements especially, 'Peoples' Science Movement' in India. He is currently in Pune. We are organising his talk in Hindi based on the book 'A People's History of Science' by Clifford D. Conner. This book documents how, unlike what the dominant view would like us to believe, ordinary people, artisans played a primary role in the development of science and technology. The attached file prepared by Abhay Shukla gives a concrete idea about this book. It will be quite a treat to listen to Prof. Shukla on this important book. Venue- Lokayat Hall, 3rd Floor, Lenovo building, Opp. Syndicate Bank, Law College Road, Near Nal Stop, Pune. Date: Sunday, 25th May Time: 6.30 pm. onwards Pl. book 25th May Sunday evening for this programme. In solidarity, -- Neeraj Jain D-705, Springfields Society, Kothrud, Pune - 411 038 Ph. 94222 20311 ============================================================================== TOPIC: Fwd: Fantastic - Bhopalis win - HIP HIP HURRAY http://groups.google.com/group/BM_discussion/browse_thread/thread/7cac14247da14b26?hl=en ============================================================================== == 1 of 1 == Date: Mon, Jun 2 2008 11:41 am From: "अभिजित Abhijit" ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Lokayat Pune <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Fri, May 30, 2008 at 11:46 AM Subject: Fantastic - Bhopalis win - HIP HIP HURRAY To: Dear All: HERE IS SOME FANTASTIC NEWS. Our friends in Bhopal have finally won, HIP HIP HURRAY. As you all will remember, the Bhopalis were on Dharna in Delhi for the last two months after a heroic padyatra from Bhopal to Delhi in Feb-March this year demanding clean drinking water, a commission to resolve the outstanding problems arising out of Bhopal gas tragedy, and action against DOW. Determined struggle can change the world, here is yet another evidence of what we can do once we decide that WE WILL NOT BACK OUT TILL WE WIN. After 2 months of dharna at Jantar Mantar, *Prime Minister finally sent Minister of State- Mr. Prithviraj Chavan to the dharnasthal to read out a statement on his belhalf agreeing to:* a) set up the commission on Bhopal for atleast 30 years to look into the rehabilitation b) ICMR to continue the research on Bhopal c) to provide safe drinking water to all 14 communities and allocate a budget of 14.1 crores towards this d) pursue legal case in the MP High Court that demands Rs 100 crore as advance towards clean up from Dow Chemicals. *The demands that are still under consultation are:* - Move for extradition of Warren Anderson and the authorized representative of Union Carbide Corporation. - Revoke approval given to Reliance Industries for purchase of Union Carbide's Unipol technology which is intellectual property that should be confiscated because the corporation is absconding since 1992. - Cancel registration for all four pesticides, including Dursban, obtained by bribing Agriculture Ministry officials as established by Securities & Exchange Commission, USA. Response on these demands is expected by 3rd June. Bhopalis are determined to continue the dharna till these demands are also addressed. Today a letter will be sent to Prime Minister urging him to elaborate on the finer details of the Commission and also the three demands that are yet to be addressed. *Media coverage on the issue* Bhopal gas tragedy: Case against Dow won't be withdrawn<http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/India/Bhopal_gas_tragedy_Case_against_Dow_wont_be_withdrawn/articleshow/3084316.cms> Times of India, India - 6 hours ago NEW DELHI: The Union government on Thursday bowed to pressure from the 1984 Bhopal gas tragedy activists and accepted their demand for setting up a *... * Commission to rehabilitate Bhopal gas victims to be set up<http://www.hindu.com/2008/05/30/stories/2008053061201500.htm> Hindu, India - 7 hours ago NEW DELHI: The Centre has agreed "in principle" to set up an empowered commission to rehabilitate the survivors and victims of the Bhopal gas leak that *...* Govt continues to gas Bhopal victims<http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/News/PoliticsNation/Govt_continues_to_gas_Bhopal_victims/articleshow/3084155.cms> Economic Times, India - 7 hours ago NEW DELHI: The government has finally lent an ear to the victims of Bhopal gas tragedy.
