On the face of it, this could seem an indulgence: why should the tragedy of two people count for much in a country of 1.2 billion? Ordinarily perhaps, it wouldn’t. But this is no ordinary story. It exemplifies what can happen when an entire system goes deaf on you. It exposes the tectonic damages irresponsible media can do. It encapsulates the cold, impervious heart of our democracy. It typifies the mess of our criminal jurisprudence and forensics. Remember, if this could happen to these two people, it could happen to you. In fact, the story of Rajesh and Nupur Talwar is not just a tragedy: it is a perversity. Everyone knows their 13-year-old daughter Aarushi was gruesomely murdered five years ago. So was Hemraj, their live-in house help. The Talwars were blamed almost instantly for these murders. The cops floated a salacious theory. http://www.tehelka.com/what-do-you-do-when-the-entire-system-goes-deaf-on-you/
