It has been twenty years since the 1984 riots which saw thousands of innocent men being killed and thousands of families plunged into miseries and yet the killers have loomed large and free ever since. There have been nine enquiry commissions that sat to enquire into the riots and the government has discarded the finding reports of all of those commissions. In doing so the government has aggravated the pain and suffering of the helpless widows and families affected because of the riots. The big question we all need to ask is What is stopping the justice to come through.
The answer that comes to my mind is the mindset of differentiating the justice meant for minority from that meant for the majority.
Unfortunately, India with all its diversity is a natural victim to unhealthy divisions of a big majority community and many small minority communities among its population. A Majority by definition always enjoys the advantage of numbers. It is always stronger and having greater control of things vis-à-vis a minority, which by virtue of its smaller numbers is a weak entity. As a rule, it is always unto the Stronger to see that they do justice to those weaker to them
