Justice delayed is justice denied

Who are the guilty?

Growing up on Hindi movies I would often wonder when the oft repeat line "The house of God is late but never dark". Often, this line in the movie was to portray that justice was finally served. Let us leave the discussion on exiistence of God aside for now. I always thought this was a stupid line. The judiciary system has nothing to do with God, it is man made and a good one is useful to build a strong nation. A judiciary system that comes with a report 20 years from when the crime was committed and then does not go far enough is a joke.

We all know who the perpetrators are. What we don't know till date is who pulled the strings. Yes, the silence of the judiciary is bad enough but the silence of the public is deafening. The "secularists" must be feeling why go after the lesser of two evils.

An aside - It is interesting to note the Indian ministers tender their resignation to Sonia Gandhi first and not the Prime Minister. Indians seem to fall at the feet of the women leaders - Indira, Jayalalitha and now Sonia. Bravo....
