~ Is there then any difference between the pogroms of 1984 and 2002? Or is an overt manifestation of forces of a certain ideology more worrying than seemingly insidious ones? Various editorials, articles, status updates are pointing out to the difference in the two pogroms. Lets look at some of these: While it is true that the political careers of Jagdish Tytler, Sajjan Kumar and HKL Bhagat remained on the peripheries, the orchestrator of Gujarat 2002 is the prime ministerial candidate for the upcoming elections. There is thus a difference between the rising and fading stature of these actors, but what again diffuses the difference between the two horrendous events is the denial of justice specially when it comes to the principle of chain of command responsibility which is yet to be included in our judicial system. ~
