In so doing, he described the events that unfolded in Hashimpura as the 'targeted killing' of 'members of a particular minority community.' The judicial recognition of targeted violence in contemporary Indian society forms the focus of the present article. I further build a case for why and how legal and judicial responses to targeted violence ought to be informed and shaped by a recognition of its relational harms. 56.E.g.
