Gabriel is mistaken. India's judicial system practices the principle of
innocent until proven guilty. It was in the Portuguese system in Goa that a
person who was charged by the police state as being guilty had to prove his
innocence.
As far as the crap regarding changing street names is concerned, I think it is
a ridiculous political stunt.
