Sujata Tibrewala My new year resolution is to share some facts which were unknown to me when we were studying at school about Women's and hence the world history. Just started the research since I wanted to know why we have been considered the "weaker" sex. January 10, 2011 at 5:58pm · Like

Sujata Tibrewala Hi Padmaja, I am glad you liked it. I did it as a commissioned work for Rachna Dhingra (she is quite active as a volunteer for Bhopal gas Tragedy) and now with her. January 10, 2011 at 11:14pm · Like

What Sujata had in mind when she painted

This painting was done to recognize the efforts of Rachna Dhingra who has been working for the people affected by the Bhopal Gas Tragedy. Ironically she was working for the parent company of Union Carbide Corporation. It was the UCC factory in Bhopal from where methyl isocyanate gas leaked, killing thousands. In her own words "it was the fact that the company I was working for was more concerned about profits than lives of the people. I came to Bhopal to see that demands like better health care system and income generation plans are implemented. Twenty one years is a long time to wait for justice but I am hopeful that eventually everyone will get justice."
