Almost 30 years since the Bhopal gas leak tragedy and there seems to be no respite for the victims and their families. From the struggle of living with disability to the struggle of getting compensation from the government- every day is a fight for survival. On the 28th anniversary of the Bhopal tragedy, we bring you the story of one such victim.
Sachin Kumar crawls on his hands and knees after playing a game of cricket with his friends in a slum near the site of the deserted Union Carbide factory in Bhopal.
Twenty-eight years after an explosion causing a mass gas leak, in the Union Carbide factory in Bhopal, killed at least eight thousand people, toxic material from the 'biggest industrial disaster in history' continues to affect Bhopalis.
A new generation is growing up sick, disabled and struggling for justice. The effects of the disaster on the health of generations to come, both through genetics, transferred from gas victims to their children and through the ongoing severe contamination, caused by the Union Carbide factory, has only started to develop visible forms recently.

Sachin Kumar lives with his parents Suresh and Sangita, his 3 sisters, Jyoti, Arti and Punam and his brother Ravi, in a slum where a number of people affected by either water contamination or poison contamination have been relocated to.
Sachin was born with a birth defect rendering his legs practically useless. Sachin had been receiving physical therapy treatment and education from the Chingari Trust rehabilitation Centre for victims of the 1984 gas tragedy, for which he has been registered for.
However Sachin's health has turned for the worse and his legs, now covered with open sores, restrict him from travelling to the major road where the Chingari Trust bus can pick him up for daily treatment.
The oldest of four, Sachin spends his days playing board games with his friends and a rare game of cricket, which he sees as the fulfilment of his dreams of becoming a professional cricket player.
Sachin, who is suffering from disabilities due to groundwater contamination following the 1984 Union Carbide pesticide plant disaster in Bhopal, attends a press conference with paralympic athletes demanding the Indian government to boycott the forthcoming London Olmpics, over sponsorship by a US company linked to the 1984 Bhopal gas tragedy.

Ye nazrein tumhari bahut khoobsurat hain
Kisi ki inhe kabhi lage na nazar
Hum tere sang hain duniya kya karegi,
Ek jaan hain hum judaa kya karegi
Mohabbat mai ashiq badnaam hote hain,
Humko bhala ye ruswa kya karegi
Badi humpe to yara rab ki inayat hai,
Ghabra ke kabhi bhi jhuke na nazar
Ye nazrein tumhari bahut khoobsurat hain,
Kisi ki inhe kabhi lage na nazar
Yon hi nibhana tu vada wafa ka,
main toh hoon dewaana teri har adaa ka
Mohabbat sanam mujhpe yon hi lutana,
tu toh hai gukshan mere jahan ka
Mera hi khwaab ho aankho mein teri,
Kisi aur se lade na nazar
Ye nazrein tumhari bahut khoobsurat hain,
Kisi ki inhe kabhi lage na nazar
Diwaana mujhko sanam banati rahna,
hotho ki kaliya yon hi khilati rahna
Yon hi nazar teri pukare mujhe bus,
yon hi har adaa pe tu sharmati rahna
Yon hi jhuki rahe sharma ke ye aankhe,
Behayai se kabhi uthe na nazar
Ye nazrein tumhari bahut khoobsurat hain,
Kisi ki inhe kabhi lage na nazar

Mushayara chal raha tha aur shayar jhum jhum ke ga raha tha..
ZAMEEN BECH DUN ASMAAN BECH DUN,
MAIN TERE LIYE YE JAHAN BECH DUN..
Santa Singh se raha nahin gaya. Daudte hue dias pe pahunch gaye aur shayar ka gala pakad liya. Bole;
YE SHAYARI HAI? Bakwas kar raha hai tu...
Shayar bahut naraaz hua. Bola "Agar ye shayari nahin hai to aap hi suna dijiyee kuch"
Santa Singh ne mike pakda aur farmaya...
MAIN MAJ BECH DEWAAN, MAIN GAAN BECH DEWAAN,(I will see my buffalo and cow too)
TABELE DI SARI MAIN THAAN BECH DEWAAN. (I will sell the barnyard lanb also)
Shayar chillane laga...Abe vo shayari nahin thi aur ye shayari hai..?
Santa Singh ne jawaab diya;
Waraq Waraq Par Teri Ibarat
Tera Fasana Teri Hikayat
Kitab-E-Hasti Jahan Se Kholi
Teri Mohabbat Ka Baab Nikla

APNA DIL PESH KAROON APNI WAFA PESH KAROON,
KUCH SAMAJH ME NAHI ATA TUJHE KYA PESH KAROON,
TERE MILNE KI KHUSHI ME KOI NAGMA CHEROON,
YA TERE DARD KI JUDAAI KA GILA PESH KAROON,
MERE KHABON ME BHI TU MERE KHYALON ME BHI TU,
KONSI CHEZ TUJHE TUJHSE JUDA PESH KAROON,
JO TERE DIL KO LUBHA LE WO ADA MUJHME NAHI,
KYON NA TUJHKO KOI TERI HI ADA PESH KAROON
