this is why one has a certain respect for the american criminal justice system: even after forty years, they do convict the murderers. goodman, cheney and schwerner -- two jews and a black -- were killed by white racists in 1964 (see 'mississippi burning'), and in 2005 at least one person is convicted.
will the godhra murderers ever face justice? of course not. india's criminal justice system, once considered incorruptible, is not any longer. it has become an instrument of the predatory, fascist, stalinist state.
will the murderers of rajan during the emergency ever be brought to justice? of course not. see the heartbreaking malayalam film 'piravi' (the birth) about the aged father searching in vain for his son who 'disappeared'.

You are absolutely right about the corruption in the Indian Judiciary. You can 'buy' a verdit nowadays, it seems. Just jot down the points you want on a piece of paper and hand it over to the right man with the moolah. And the veridict would be the same points and that too in the same exact order!!! In kerala, the man to do the job for you goes by the name 'Rauf'). Ring any bells??? He is the same Rauf of the Ice cream kutty fame..The Bloody Muslims have murdered our country.

good one, san. i like the term tactical liberalism. this is a widespread disease among those also afflicted by 'south-asianitis'.
Hi Rajeev, been reading your blog and have turned it into a daily read...agree with you on the need to be nationalistic and question our conditioned beliefs - which only get reinforced by our educational system..
On the matter of conviction of 80 y-o Klan man, while i welcome the judgement, i haqve a different take on it..."Is it good practice to evaluate yesteryear actions with current day values and ethos?"...have a post on the subject on my blog
