Justice Delayed, Not Denied: The Sajjan Kumar Legacy The recent death of former Congress MP Sajjan Kumar at 80 marks the end of a long and complicated chapter in India's history.
Convicted in connection with the 1984 anti Sikh riots, one of post independence India's darkest episodes, Kumar's passing brings to mind the systemic failures that have allowed perpetrators to go unpunished.
The 1984 anti Sikh riots were a watershed moment in modern Indian history. Widespread violence against Sikhs in Delhi and other parts of the country resulted in thousands of deaths.
