No nation should have to accept terrorist attacks being launched against it from land controlled by another country.

India is justified in striking terrorist infrastructure. There can be no impunity for terrorists.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, best known as the brilliant creator of the world-famous detective Sherlock Holmes, possessed a keen intellect and an unyielding sense of justice that extended beyond the pages of his novels. In a remarkable turn of events in the early 1900s, Doyle found himself taking on the role of a real-life detective to right the wrongs of the justice system and secure the freedom of two innocent men.

It all began when Doyle, an avid reader of crime reports and court cases, stumbled upon two separate cases that piqued his curiosity. Both cases involved men who had been convicted and sentenced for crimes they vehemently claimed they did not commit. Struck by the inconsistencies in the evidence and testimonies, Doyle became convinced of the men's innocence and felt compelled to take action.

The first case involved George Edalji, a solicitor of Indian descent who had been convicted of mutilating animals in the Staffordshire region. Despite a lack of substantial evidence connecting Edalji to the crimes, he was found guilty and sentenced to seven years of hard labor. Doyle carefully examined the details of the case and came to believe that Edalji was indeed innocent.

The second case involved Oscar Slater, a German immigrant who had been accused of murdering an elderly woman in Glasgow. Slater's conviction was based on circumstantial evidence, and he was given the death penalty. Doyle's interest in this case intensified when he discovered numerous flaws in the investigation and the trial process.

Fuelled by his unwavering belief in justice and inspired by the detective skills of his fictional creation Sherlock Holmes, Doyle embarked on a personal mission to exonerate both men. He invested countless hours investigating the cases, gathering evidence, and interviewing witnesses and experts.

With his literary fame, Doyle had the advantage of garnering media attention, which he used to bring public awareness to the injustices faced by Edalji and Slater. His articles and public speeches raised eyebrows and generated discussions about the inadequacies of the legal system.

In 1907, after years of determined efforts, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle succeeded in proving the innocence of both George Edalji and Oscar Slater. Edalji's sentence was commuted, and he was finally released from prison. Similarly, Slater's death sentence was overturned, and he was granted clemency. Though not without their struggles, both men were ultimately vindicated.

The public outcry and media spotlight on these cases prompted significant reforms in the British legal system. As a result of Doyle's unwavering commitment to justice and the exposure of the flaws in the process, the UK established an official Court of Criminal Appeal in 1907. This institution allowed for further scrutiny and the potential for rectifying miscarriages of justice.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's extraordinary efforts in real-life detective work not only secured justice for two innocent men but also catalyzed the reformation of the legal system. His determination to see justice served, akin to the character of Sherlock Holmes, continues to inspire generations of readers, writers, and activists to seek truth and fairness in an often complex and imperfect world. Beyond the pages of fiction, Doyle's legacy as a crime solver in real life remains an indelible testament to the power of one individual's relentless pursuit of justice.

I’m just back from India and what I saw there was a bullish nation, brimming with excitement.  It has some hurdles to clear, but I lay out a path for it to truly become an incredible India.

@vijaylokapally @phadke_shilpa @BCCI @JayShah Spectator comfort is least of @BCCI 's worries! I would say - Drinking Water, Sanitation Facilities, proper seats (with roof over the head) are basics that is needed at every venue. We cut corners to fit more people in all the time!
