Death and Propriety - Death Penalty for Kasav (26/11 Mumbai Terrorist)

Last week Kasav (26/11 Mumbai terrorist) was given the death penalty by a special Mumbai court. We perhaps, in fact did know the outcome and when the actual judgement came out it was just some sort of a validation of our thoughts.

Undoubtedly we hate him and we hate all the others too behind the crime. But given the nature of our species I am quite disgusted with us that we do not know how to respect and honour the judgement. I would have thought. Dancing in the streets, lighting fireworks was no way to celebrate the conclusion.

We should have rather held candle marches or prayers or somber functions that would honour the death of the innocent that would honour the trial and its judgement that would honour the families affected by the death of innocent civilians.

The judgement does not celebrate the death of Kasav. The judgement upholds our rights to justice and also sends a message to society. We should rather pay our homage once again to the men, women and children that we lost.

We keep losing propriety on issues at regular intervals and that’s sad. Sphere: Related Content
