Indian rapper targets United States chemical giant in bid for damagesNEW DELHI--An Indian rapper is targeting Dow Chemical with rhymes — demanding the U.S. company pay more in victims' compensation and environmental damages stemming from a horrific chemical gas leak that killed thousands of people and sickened countless others. "There's water, water everywhere / corroding our copperware / It's so polluted, quit deluding." "But very few of them will know about the Bhopal gas leak tragedy." Union Carbide paid US$470 million in a 1989 deal reached with the Indian government, which Dow has said takes care of its liability. The latest song takes the Indian complaint abroad — urging the U.S. government to force Dow to offer more in compensation and clean up.
