Quick question: Does the name Ishrat Jahan sound familiar to you? How about the name Chungkham Sanjit Meitei? Whatever be your politics or allegiance, you’re likely to have an opinion on the incident that occurred in Gujarat in 2004 where four people, one of them Jahan, were shot dead for allegedly having links with a terrorist group. You may say she was innocent and, thus, was murdered in cold blood. You may believe there was enough proof of her having links to Lashkar-e-Taiba and that when it comes to terrorism, the state can’t care for such niceties as a fair trial. You may assert that the rule of law must be respected and that extrajudicial killings are a blot on our democracy.
