I think both the Jalianwala Bagh massacre and the 1984 anti-Sikh riots were a product of a line of thought that strives to preserve an iron grip on power, no matter what the consequences are.<br /><br />Thankfully, in spite of who wins these elections, I believe that India is headed towards better times.<br /><br />Peace!Desi Babuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07955168775820391505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5268411326974045305.post-4133878125366700992014-04-13T14:11:40.952+05:302014-04-13T14:11:40.952+05:30Well said, Susan!Well said, Susan!Desi Babuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07955168775820391505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5268411326974045305.post-3081092466440261402014-04-13T10:51:05.165+05:302014-04-13T10:51:05.165+05:30And even if they apologize, I would dismiss it as ...And even if they apologize, I would dismiss it as an election gimmick.S.

As far as I recall, the government responsible for that has still very steadfastly refused to "apologize". Not that any such apologies would matter now--history will remember only that that they failed to punish the perpetrator when they had the time, and in fact went a long way towards making a hero out of him. <br /><br />The Economist fails to recognize that far from any empty apologies, what is important is that justice be served. The question to be asked here is not whether the Modi government has "apologised", but whether it has prosecuted the perpetrators of the rioters to make sure that they receive their just desserts. By all accounts, the record of the Modi government on this count is also not very stellar, but is certainly much better than that of the Congress and the Gandhi family on the "when-a-tree-falls-the-Earth-shakes" 1984 riots.
