Facts
Assessment
Reliability TierA statutory commission of inquiry appointed by the Government of India under a sitting High Court judge, with subpoena power and testimony taken over nearly seventeen years; its findings on named individuals' responsibility were themselves publicly contested by some of those named, which this atlas records as part of the report's own reception rather than a reason to omit it.
