Escaping justice
Three men were recently convicted for their crimes against Sikhs during the Delhi riots in 1984. Dilip comments on the slow wheels of justice.
… this verdict gives me no solace. In fact, I don’t know: should I applaud the wheels of justice? Laugh at the absurdity of them turning for nearly a generation? Weep for thousands of fellow Indians, slaughtered by their own countrymen, whose families lose more faith in justice with every day, every month that passes? And this: Just where does this stack up in ready-for-prime-time India? Is it a measure of the functioning legal system that many say sets us apart from China? Or does it mock that notion, our nation itself?
