Sohrabbudin’s Murder?
Monday, 7th May 2007
Ramesh Ramanathan writes a short but very crisp piece on the much hyped discussion surrounding Gujrat Fake encounter case.
I get the same feeling as I read about Sohrabuddin’s fake encounter in Gujarat, of suddenly opening a trap-door and tripping into something kafkaesque. There is a normal world that most of us inhabit—of families and weekends and office politics—and then there are the strange and unrecognizable deep waters, which sometimes surface unexpectedly. The experience is so intensely discomforting that we don’t know how to cope with it. We want to convince ourselves that this parallel world doesn’t impact our lives. The truth is that our canoes can be capsized by just one swelling of these squalls.
Beautiful.
