India Threatens to Boycott the London Olympic

In India , there are groups who want to boycott the London Olympic games , but the Indian Olympic Association does not want to boycott. This happened because the Union Carbide Corporation caused a gas leak in 1984. The company in the Dow London Olympic games called Dow which is now part of this company and made over 15,000 people die from the gas leak. A spokesman in London told India that the Dow company will not be advertised during the games.The Indian Olympic Association is still going  to the London Olympic games even though people don't want them to go to the London Olympic games. This connects to when India boycotted British goods ,when the British didn't give India independence after World War 1. In India people are wanting to boycott the London Olympic games ,but the Indian Olympic Association is still going.
