I lived in India for nearly 3 years. It's a country that I love and respect. The people are beyond compare for their spirit, passion and genuine belief in free speech and democracy - the world's largest.

The lawyer who had, with incredible bravery accepted the brief of defending the one living terrorist had her house surrounded by these people, and has now been forced to withdraw her defence.
What sad people they are. Democracy demands a fair trial. with representation, for even the most dubious of defendants. However these thugs disrespect that spirit and letter in order to... what?
