Uptown in Zaveri Bazaar, the gold and silver traders had taken it upon themselves to bag up all the stray limbs, hair, teeth and fingers, boarded up their broken windows and opened for business. Commuters packed trains as usual, and the stock market soared to a 29-month high. The newspapers all but ignored the 52 people killed...
