India,has double standard of justice one deliver on eye witnesses ,other driven by media ,secularist and self rightious NGO .Zahira and Guj.Modi govt. and people sentenced are victims of this double standard justice. There is a fact that on similar cases people of other states have been aquitted.
Jaisingh's comments resemble the logics of people who had argued that 'the constitution failed us rather than us failing the constitution or better still things are just fine with the system'.The Judicial system in this country works on facts and thus the phrase 'andha kanoon'.It still works and is accepted because it delivers most of the time.The supreme court's involvement was not incidental; in a case like this the apex court 'will' be involved if there is a suspicion of miscarriage of justice.Also,the current verdict is not the ultimate truth and the attitude that the whole world knows who are the culprits is a system practised in countries like Saudi Arabia where instant justice has resulted in death for innocents (an Indian recently).The fact that the riots were spontaneous reaction to burning down of the train should not absolve a person or group in any way and yet it remains a 'fact' not an emotional assumption.It may also be helpful to remind oneself that the perpetrators of Godhra are still far from conviction.
Ms Indira Jaising is a fantastic writer and she is extremely concise and articulate. I have read all your columns and I am really impressed by them. Infact, I have met her and she is a role model for any woman. Hope she keeps on writing articles which shows her class and poise...God Bless!!!

Answer to Aryas Question ! Nothing will be there for Burning the train bcoz its a natural accident happened with gas cylinder or wantedly torched RSS Cylinder.
Just wondering if anything ever happend to the people who burnt live people in the train. was there even a case or did anybody get conviction? Sometimes I wonder if perception among people that media, NGOs etc are biased is part of the problem.
Well we got a semblance of justice here because the accused were not rich and powerful like manu sharma and his ilk. Zahira a victim who commited perjury may actually have to face the concequences while the 'witnessess' in the other cases enjoy life with the 'blood money' they got from the accused. Since it involves the 'R&P' even the supreme court won't do a thing.
