Capital punishment' vis a vis the right propounded by the laws of the
land, is totally condemnable in any so-called "civilized" society. Is
a slur on humanity of the magnitude of 9.9 on the Richter Scale . The
catch word here being "humanity". Vemin like Kasab, Koli and Pander
(of the grizzly cannibalism fame-the Nithari Case) and the ones that
brutally extinguished the lives of Arushi and other innocents, the sadistic monsters in
society..do not qualify as humans. As one wouldnt think twice of
stepping on a cockroach or swatting a fly, one shouldnt get moralistic
qualms about executing Kasab. The souls of all those he murdered will
shower blessings on the public hanging of their murderer.
As for society becoming more brutal.. its
brutal enough with bride burnings and female infanticides. Sometimes its a need in society to bring the guilty to task ... however gory the means. The lessons have to be enforced in the learning curricula of the criminally inclined. Granting them presidential pardons will only show up us, as a nation, to be composed of soft-headed fools. Who cannot safeguard their own dignity, lives and honour!
