"There can be no excuses for neglecting the safety regulations that resulted in so many deaths, be it the "evil US capitalists" or whosoever responsible for neglecting the safety standards"

Uh, you have provided no proof whatsoever that Carbide "neglected the safety regulations". It's been some years since I studied the Bhopal issue, but all the major US chemical companies are absolute fanatics for safety (I worked at one for 25 years), so I seriously doubt that if any safety regs were violated, it was as a result of company policy.

Don't bother. Indians here seem to have a difficult time with self-criticism. It might have something to do with some of them being paid PR agents.

Companies in the US dont often maintain the same level of quality or safety standards in third world countries. Very often foreign copmanies are known to take advantage of the lax in enforcement of regulations when it comes to cutting corners and it is especially true of US companies operating overseas in third world countries where corruption is rampant.

The Union Carbide which operated in Bhopal was not exactly well known for their "fantastic" safety standards.
