Kasab's case-a learning note

               Today morning I was greeted with the news "Death for Kasab - He's a lingering to society,has no chance of reform". I am one who is always against the capital punishment but this time its different as I am happy with the verdict.

               Kasab is not the main culprit because he is just a gun but shooters are some one else, who are unnoticed yet(???) and Kasab may be a weapon used for  this entire high-drama which killed 166 in Mumbai attacks but this verdict is much needed.Indian legal system, in spite of several varied emotions able to give verdict in less time and more over it didn't act with vengeance.It approached legally and solved the case in a legal, constitutional manner.

             Its good that this verdict will be a warning for the terrorists who try to attack on India but at the same time we shouldn't forget the facts that in the last 4 years,India after Iraq  suffered from higher number of terrorist attacks and in last 26 years the more number of terrorist victims( deaths) are Indians.Terrorism in any form should not be spared especially in India which paid a huge price but hanging Kasab can be the final solution?

          Indian people and political parties should not see this aspect from the point of vengeance and should take this a chance to completely eradicate terrorism.Once again, I stress on Y.K.Sabrawal and co's judgment on January 11,2007 which advised to form a civilian division in Police system and Kiran Bedi insists it as a Gandhian way of policing( I already made it a point in my earlier post http://aravind4588.blogspot.com/2009/11/2611.html) . Terrorism should be stopped at any cost and attacks like Mumbai attacks should be prevented at any cost.

          Every one knows that without the help of Indian citizens, terrorists cant plan everything in such a lethal manner then why Indians want to kill their fellow citizens? because the persons who are helping have been discriminated on the basis of their birth or something other. Every child born should get quality education,health facilities then both external and internal form of terrorism can be wiped out for ever. Vote-bank politics should not hinder this process.Dignity of lives as a prime-factor should be recognized for ever and we should learn that a learned,literate child and individual can shout "India,I,Care" understanding its meaning.

           Whatever I wish,still I grasp that Kasab will not be hanged immediately as he can go for mercy petition and other options like appealing in high court .Whatever the final punishment be,I wish the process to go in transparent and constitutional way as it is up to now .Emotions shouldn't play a role in this even though I understand the grieve of people who suffered because of attacks and who has undergone major losses , still I remember the face of Sandeep Unnikirshan but India is a democratic nation with Autonomous legal system and these affairs should be left to courts and president.

              On personal note,even though I believe in ahimsha ,I want to see Kasab hanged immediately not because it gives soothing effect to suffered families but it can become a warning to terrorist elements and it can be a foundation for strengthening our anti-terrorism steps.

Long way to go and I trust Indian people and politicians will realize the need to safeguard our own people through longterm vision and measures because terrorism in any form should not be spared
