Moving the intolerance train right along, I accuse is about the anti-Sikh violence that occurred upon Indira Gandhi's death by her Sikh body guard.
This book underlines all that is uncontrolled and savage about India. The author outlines many stories of when people went to the police for protection from the mob, they were chased off and told they did not warrant protection. A chilling thought.
Once again, people who had been part of communities for generations were singled out for brutalities that most of us cannot imagine.
I'm going to file this under one of the books that needs to be read so that people can work to avoid having it happen again. I find it especially disturbing when people turn on their own countrymen.
Verdict: Not an easy read from an atrocities point of view, but should not be forgotten.
