It’s been three months since I got to Belgium. Belgium is the rich world. Even though people here are as stupid and as intelligent as they are in India, wealth disparities between the west and India are pretty wide. We were supposed to give a presentation related to Business and Law as part of the course exam and our group chose the Bhopal Disaster. After our presentation the Professor said, referring to the meager and pathetic compensation, the words I used for the title of the post. Our conclusion for the presentation was that accidents of this type keep happening especially in undeveloped countries like India because nobody gives a shit in those countries.
There is another difference between India and Belgium. I once saw an ad here by an insurance company with a nude man showing his ass in all its eternal glory. If this happened in India, Shiv Sena (a right-wing extremist political party) would have made sure the man didn't have his cute butt to look at any more.
