Re: Gujarat - Update
what do you expect them to do? lengthy duration of the legal process should not come as a surprise, it is standard - especially in such a backed-up system like India’s…and with cases involving vague descriptions of suspects in a riot, it’s not that easy to just line them up, arrest them, and give them the death sentence. that is unrealistic.
within the last one year, the most prominent case has been ordered to be re-tried after the suspects were acquitted earlier, over 2,000 cases have been re-opened and are under investigation after being closed due to “untraceability” of suspects, and the National Human Rights Commission has praised the SC just a few months back on the increased determination and aggression in the investigations and prosecutions…so you never know, there could be good results in the near future.
there is no difference…you might see wrongful arrests just to calm down the masses - but that isn’t justice. you can see the same situation in the Godhra cases and same issues of “untraceability” of suspects. the legal system is a very clogged process in India regardless of religion.
the vast majority of rallies and protests against the Gujarat gov’t have been organized and run by Hindus…there’s only so much power that they have.
but before asking that question…ask yourself what the majority populations in Muslim countries, including Pakistan, would do (or have done) in cases of minority oppression…nothing at all.
