Today, August 15, 2005, marks the 58th anniversary of India's independence from Britain. This is not an auspicious time for many in India, particularly Sikhs, who are still grieving over the Nanavati report, which named several government officials as being "very probably" involved in the massacre of over 4,000 innocent Sikhs in 1984.
