Sankaracarya of the North

Fred,
What irked me was the casual remarks on the judicial system.
The latter may not look the greatest, but it's not tainted
as alleged.  Any time a controversial case could come, the
judgement would look unfair to a party.  Judiciary in India
has so far expressed its independence from various political
pressures that run the country.  That the judiciary can
maintain its independence should be a matter of research
if one is into law and political systems.

Regards,
