I survived the Bhopal gas tragedy. I was born in July 1984 and I was only five months old when the disaster struck my community . I was too young to remember anything from the night of December 2, 1984 , but , throughout the years, I have heard many stories from the people who were there and saw it happen . My sister would sometimes tell me things about that night , though we generally avoided bringing it up , as we knew that it would only hurt us to talk about it . After the disaster, some of our relatives, who had heard about it on the radio, came and took us to Lucknow, around 600km from Bhopal . We stayed with them for a few months , but they started treating us badly , as if we were a burden to them and their families , so it was our brother Sunil, another survivor from our family of 10 - aged 13 at the time of the disaster - who decided to bring us back to Bhopal . Subsequently, we were sent to an orphanage in Bhopal, called The SOS Children's Village . Sunil refused to live with us in the orphanage, and got involved with the anti-Carbide campaign . He created an organisation called Children Against Carbide . Most of the members of this organisation were children from the community we were from - Jay Prakash Nagar (JP Nagar), right across the road from the main Bhopal plant . I was happy with my life at the orphanage in Bhopal , I had almost everything: cricket bats, skates, football, good education etc . But ,  at the same time, I did not know anything about our parents . In middle school, we would have parent-teacher meetings at school ; my classmates had their parents next to them for the meeting , but I had no one next to me . It was around that time that I started asking my sister about our parents . It was then that my sister first told me about the Bhopal gas disaster and what had happened that night . Until then, I never fully understood that I was growing up in an orphanage and didn't really know the meaning of the word "orphanage" . My sister Mamta told me that there were four brothers and four sisters in our family . Our father was a carpenter , and I was the youngest in the family . We lost three sisters and two brothers along with our parents that night . I then asked her,"How did we survive?" She told me that she wrapped me in a blanket, and ran away along with our brother Sunil . When they were running, Sunil had to go to the bathroom, and fainted . The streets were so crowded as people were running and shouting , my sister was forced by the crowd, and couldn't wait any longer for my brother Sunil to come back . He succeeded in 2006 when he hung himself . So, now it is just Mamta and I - the only survivors from a family of 10 . Mamta lives in Lucknow with her husband and two children , and I live here in Bhopal on my own . She would often complain about severe headaches and eye problems . It has been almost 30 years now , and Bhopalis are still fighting for their basic rights . The disaster took so many lives, and is still killing people, as the abandoned factory continues poisoning our soil, water, and air . I started learning more about the disaster when I saw people of different ages chanting slogans in the streets of Bhopal when I was a child . In 2004, Greenpeace flew me to Paris to participate in a demonstration outside Dow's shareholders meeting . I got involved with the campaign in 2004 partly because of my brother's participation in the campaign . It was better to die fighting for our rights than succumb to depression over what had happened . I had a stroke in 2005, and started taking an aspirin everyday . I also had a pulmonary embolism in the US last year . Now I no longer take an aspirin , because now I have to take 7.5mg of warfarin, a blood thinner , which is also used as rat poison . In 2008, I was one of a number of Bhopal survivors in New Delhi who fasted for 21 days, only having water . We were asking then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to set up an empowered commission to look into the issues related to Bhopal . We also wanted clean water to be supplied to the people who were living in the affected communities and were forced to drink contaminated water . Everyone on this earth should feel this anger and frustration . It has been 30 years and justice continues to elude the people of Bhopal . We, the people of Bhopal, believe that the whole world has transformed into a Bhopal in a way : If you look around , you see multinational corporations being allowed to do business without accountability, poisoning the world and placing profits over people . If justice comes to Bhopal , then it would be justice for the whole world . It would set a precedent and ensure that in the future, corporations committing such crimes are brought to justice .
