At least some semblance of justice for the victims. As for big fish like Sajjan Kumar, getting to them in our defunct and corrupt system is mostly fantasy.

Hopefully this murderer will become Home Minister in 2014 with the family's backing. Happy days. Pathetic verdict from SC.

so when was the last time you spew venom against the biggest tragedy in modern India : the Kashmir issue ? Just curious.
I do not have enough knowledge about that issue so I don't participate in debates about it.
