Decades after the anti-Sikh riots shook Delhi in the aftermath of the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, there seems to be some justice, but delayed (Page 1, “34 years after anti-Sikh riots, man sentenced to death”, November 21). The court’s verdict will be of some consolation to those who lost their loved ones in brutal acts committed by misguided elements. The wheels of justice have been turning at a snail’s pace which has also enabled some of the accused to stay out of reach of the long arm of the law. One of the most shameful and infamous episodes in the history of free India, the riots were a blot on the country.
