the riots were real, the state government complicity was probably real (my gut feel says yes)

If that's true, than a major unit of government was complicit in an incident of mass murder, and got away with it. It's very hard to look at that from outside - and it would seem to me also from the inside - and not conclude that there's a major problem. The problem might not be affecting all people in all parts of the country; not yet, anyway. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist, or that it doesn't need to be dealt with.

I hope the Indian people acknowledge the problem, and act decisively to deal with it, before it expands beyond occasional outbreaks of regional conflict. The bigger it gets, the harder it will be to manage.
