Beyond the Disaster: How Bhopal Rewrote India's Environmental Laws
The Bhopal Gas Tragedy of 1984 remains one of the world's worst industrial disasters, but its impact stretches far beyond that devastating night. This video explores the legal aftermath of the Union Carbide disaster, detailing the landmark cases and Supreme Court judgement that fundamentally reshaped environmental law and corporate liability in India.

We break down the critical shift in jurisprudence, particularly the move towards Absolute Liability (the famous M.C. Mehta v. Union of India case). This landmark ruling paved the way for the creation of vital new legislation, including the Environment Protection Act, 1986, the Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991, and the establishment of the National Green Tribunal (NGT).

Learn how:

🔹The Indian legal system responded to mass tort claims.
🔹The principle of Strict Liability was replaced by the stricter rule of Absolute Liability for hazardous industries.
🔹The judgement impacted corporate responsibility and environmental compensation.
🔹Bhopal's legal struggle created a blueprint for future environmental justice cases in India.

This is a must-watch for students of law, environmental science, political science, and anyone interested in the enduring legacy of the Bhopal disaster and its role in shaping India's environmental governance.
