In my opinion if the crime is severe then the punishment needs to be severe,so that such incidents do not repeat again.

If the person is sentence to death means everything will not be over.
Some other will also do the same mistakes.
So the punishment which the government gives to them should be severe and also it should be different so that no other person should do the same mistakes

The punishment of "Death Sentence" is not the right way to punish any one because if the person is sentence to death then the persons family will be greatly affected by it.
Now a days, life as become so cheap that people are not so afraid of doing suicide and all.
There should be some alternate ways to punish some criminals.
Instead of "Sentence to death" we can try to improve that person and give some solution to live in a right way.
Because every criminals does any crime due to some reason only. If we fulfil those needs of that person then there no need to punish anyone.

excuse me but if the criminal is not sentenced to death he may commit the same mistake one more time,no one can give a guarantee that he may not commit the mistake one again,as told above that the family members will suffer due to that, i agree with that sentence but here we have to consider the victims family members also with out doing any thing they have to suffer more over if criminal is left with out severe punishments like sentencing to death day by day the number of criminals increase there by increasing the crime rate.so i think because of these severe punishments the people who thought of commiting some crimes are being in control
any way every one who commits a crime not being sentenced to death but only some according to the rules of law in which the sevearity of the crime is listed are pinished accordingly
so i think if the crime is severe he may be sentenced to death with out any mercy

i think in resent time there is number of crime is increasing.. and so the govt want to take nesesory actions.. if a criminal will escape then there is a chance to occure the crime again because most of the people take it as a job.. so death sentence is nesosory.. but many innocents are now become the death sentence so proper investigation is nesasory...

Very debatable issue. Logically there should not be any death sentence for any crime. logic is simple. If we cannot give life to any dead person, we have no right to kill anyone.
But emotion sometimes overrule the logic. Think of the persons who destroyed twin towers killing thousands of innocent people and ruined so many families of no fault of theirs!
Or, the serial rapes and killing of children and Noida!
Can we forgive them?
Even simple non painful death sentence is very minor punishment for them!
What kind of death you , the members suggest for them?

One should not hesitate in asking for"DEATH SENTENCE'for a severe crime like murder or rape."More severe the crime,more severe the punishment"-this should be the rule.
In a country like ours, where legal system is already not so strong & so many criminals escape due to -
1)lack of evidence
2)corrupt police officers & judges
3)lacunae in law
4)misuse of power & money
All of us see this happening.Criminal mentality is difficult to change.It won't change so easily.So many studies have been done on "Criminal mentality ".If wee keep them in prison instead of death sentence,they will try to escape & will do similar crime again.This is a great risk to the society.Keeping such people in jail for whole life means Govt has to supply food for them.Why should Govt spend unnecessarily on criminals that to from tax which is paid by good citizens ?
This is totally wrong & will hamper the progress of a nation.
There should be "death sentence" for crimes like "murder,rape,kidnapping & abusing children" so that no one will dare to do such crime again.Not only this but such criminal should be beaten heavily by police in public place before hanging them . Such action will definitely help in reducing crime .Similar punishments are given in "middle east " & so crime rate is low there.For simple theft , they give heavy punishment.
Legal system should be made very strong & good people should be appointed.Then only other citizens can sleep peacefully.

The topic of discussion on "Death sentence" is too good.
If a person does something wrong then he ought to be punished. Just in case if a person would have not done any wrong even then if he is sentenced to death then it is really bad. Death sentence is a cruel punishment given by the court of law. It is a matter of fact that the court always relays on the proofs provided in the court to judge whether a person is a criminal or not. There are chances that a person who has done no crime will also be sentenced to death. In that case it is a wrong judgement. Imprisonment is given for a person only with an intention that he or she should not commit the same mistake again in the life time. The experience in jail will make them feel for their crime done each and every momemt. That will make them to live a better life after they get released from the jail. If death sentence is given as judgement where is the life for them. Is a life of a human being so cheaper than animals to just write their fate with a small drop of ink on a white paper by the judge. So crucial it is to even imagine. The government has to give a chance to everybody to proove themselves. The best way is to abolish this death sentence judgement and prove not even life time imprisonment but a few years punishment which will really teach them a lesson.
Not a few years but the very few days in jail will give them a bitter experience in jail which is a real lesson they learn. Criminals will be punished and will learn a lesson but how about the person who are not criminals actually but are kept in jail just for the prooves provided in the court. Is the judgement really serving the purpose. The judgement of court is not always true.
I hence feel that punishment of few years imprisonment is better than death sentence.
Thanks for this opportunity.

I agree with your points but Death punishment will not be given to prisoner rarely only, for the past 25 years only 2 person hanged in the prison.
Actually our government will not give the Death punishment for most of the mischievousness, because of the humidity only, that death punishment is like name sake, it is because there should be a fear in doing wrong things.
That's all, but my opinion is also to avoid the Death punishment, it is because India is democratic country and it is maintaining many cultural activities, so if the death punishment is going out from the punishment history means i will be also happy for that, this is the suggestion only.

Hi Friends!
Have a nice day to you all!
This statement is a very critical statement to reply!
Because in the world we face lot of people with lot of qualities!
Some People doings are acceptable and also some others doings are not acceptable by us! If we think regarding this means really we can't get a good solution for this! This is our thoughts!
In my thought, Punishment never gives a good solution for anything! But the same time over freedom too leads a dangerous way to humans. So First we will analyze the reasons behind the man regarding his criminal activities! Because now a days lot of people affected and also affecting by Mental disorders and dipressions too!
So First we treat the case infront of mankind and then get the results from any of the good Pshycologist regarding that Criminal's characterism and then we will decide to give the Punishment!
" Death Sentence " gets true " One and only the man/women who is in normal condition and did his/her criminal activities by knowing well by him/her that what he/she did? and Whether this was right or wrong! "
---- This type of human must be Punished!
Otherwise we must Forgive the Criminal and make him/her a good human being and get a source to his/her life is one of our duty to do too!
Because in my thought, once a human got forgive for his/her Criminal activities means really this make a good human ashame and this is the best punish to that human too!
I am sure he/she will never think to do that Criminal activities again!
I don't know whether my suggestion is correct or not but this is the good suggestion for me and hope you all are appreciate my said!
If i committed any mistakes means please forgive my friends!
Thanks!
With Regards!

Hi friends,
As per Mythili's statement only the government is giving the punishments, actually for mentally problemed person our government is not giving Death punishment, our government will not give jail punishment itself for those kind of persons, they will be send to the hospital for the treatments.
In that process is only our government is doing, i think so, is it correct Mythili, then has i said previously in this discussion the Death punishment is there in our law, but it will be given in the rare situations only, it is very rare to find out the Death punishment given to the prisoners.
So Death punishment is not a wrong punishment has per our government doing things, this is only my opinion.
Thanks

Hi Ramkumar,
I wonder how many more good topics are in your super-efficient brain but this one I must say takes away all the accolades. A superb topic and a highly debatable topic. Well, so let's get started.
Firstly, a death sentence is only given to a person who does an act which is brutal and merciless. And by brutal and merciless, I mean doing something which is quite unimaginable of an ordinary human. Although giving death sentence is not the right choice according to some activists. But, if people think it from the other way, a life-term imprisonment is much more grueling and torturous than a death sentence. In a death sentence, the pain is only for a few moments but in a life-term sentence, the pain persists for a person's whole life. A life-term is mentally and physically painful even if the term is reduced to say 20 years.
There are in total five ways to execute a criminal given death sentence. One is through the usual drill of hanging, the next one is electrocuting the criminal in a chair, the next one is to administer the criminal lethal injections, the next one is to shoot the criminal and I don't remember the last one. Of all of them, injection administration is the painless one. There is no pain in it. Just two injections are given of which one of them paralyses the body and another one stops the heart from beating. I don't understand why the government is not using this method for all death sentences. Neither it is against humanity or against anything else.
Actually if someone would like to see the criminal suffering for his deeds, life-long term is the best way to do it. Neither he would die nor he would be a free-bird. He would suffer for all his work done in the by spending his whole life in jail and to me nothing can be more grueling than that. Death sentence is just for a few moments but a life term is for all the moments in one's life. Death sentences should be removed and the best way for me to teach a criminal is to give him a life-long term. If one sees this from another point of view also, a criminal can learn good deeds by staying in jail and learning what shame is, what he can do to improve himself and how can he become like the normal person. If he thinks about this, he might be freed from jail earlier and we might see some bad and nasty people turning into the good guys trying to protect the country. Just the chance and the guidance needs to be given.
FINAL VERDICT -->
A criminal should not be awarded a death sentence but rather a life-long term as this would be the ideal torture for a criminal and there is always a chance that he might learn something good and that we may see a change in this beautiful world called 'Life'.

Hi friends,
A criminal should not be awarded a death sentence i also agree with that point, but rather a life-long term in jail as mentioned in the above discussion is also not a good idea, because that criminals life itself will be wasted because of this punishment. Further they can watch the criminals activities and if his character is changed means he can be released, so it will be fine for others and it will be fine for him also.

Hi Ramkumar Hats off to you for selecting such a debatable topic. As Sparsha said the simple logic that when we cant give life then we have no right to take it. It may be a simple logic and yes there are criminals who have been merciless, brutal etc etc. But just I want to ask my friends only one thing, were they merciless and brutal since birth. I am afraid to say the only answer is no.
Then another question arise can we have control on such acts like serial killing and rapes by giving death to the criminals, again my friend answer will be no.
Yes we have to kill but not the criminals but the crime. We have to kill the mentality of such criminals, the thoughts, the behaviour of those criminals.
As far as I beleive all persons have same brain and have two kinds of thoughts a positive and a negative thoughts, In a general person person the positive thoughts dominate and in criminals negative thoughts dominate and this is the place where we have to work out.
Not going in details I just want to contradict some members views who have given example of criminal of Noida, yes this is one aspect, but why cant we highlight other aspect of Saint Valmiki who was a Dacoit and his mentality was changed and the same fellow became such a big saint.
Last but not the least I will say that pointing finger is too easy but one should remember " EVERY SAINT HAS A PAST AND EVERY SINNER HAS A FUTURE"

Antony, if you say that even life-term is not good and death sentence is not good, how are we going to teach the criminals out there a lesson to live a life like a normal human. Life-long term to me is good because there is a huge scope for improvement and it might even help in a nation's development with lesser crimes and bad guys turning into good guys. That's what we want. Not to teach a lesson but to make them realise through an honest resonable man's point of view and then they will realise what they should do and what they could have done. Thinking about one's own wrong deeds can be a punishment of sorts. There is a very good chance that these people become the ones crucial to the nation's development.

Hi Ankush, I dont think life term is either justified, any punishment is okay which can be viable for the main aim that to change his mentality, to make the good things of the persons as a dominant part. Life term is a thing where you can do these things safely, but then merely spending 15-20 years in Jail is not enough to solve the purpose, if we can have some efficient psychologists, so inspirators who can better do it in 5 years then I think 5 years is sufficient.

Actually Dr. Sanjeev, life term doesn't necessarily mean spending 15-20 years in jail for sure. One can even get out of jail in 2 years if one learns good things and learns about a normal human mind and how has his crime affected others. I do agree with your last points on having psychologists as they can help in the process of speedy recovery from a criminal's mind to an innocent mind. I do not want the criminals to suffer physically but mentally. They must be shown how it feels when they do some brutal and fatal act causing harm to human lives or it's livelihood. But for people who will never get the right thing, a life-term is the only solution and the only way out.

Yes I agree Ankush You know every mind is a criminal mind, but the main thing is its is very recessive in normal human beings either due to social, emotional, economical or punishment fear, let us take a simple example, we have categorized the offences into simple and griveous. For eg clicking on self ad at adsense is also an offence as it does not bide with the rule but its punishment is just disabling the account. But if excessive greediness is abolished from ones mind it will not take place or if the fear of disabling of account will not be there it will always take place, same is with bigger crimes too.

For grivous offences.death sentence should be there.Some criminals may show improvement with Psychologist's counselling but everybody will not improve.At least for this group there should be death sentence

Hi Sandy,in a country like ours where court & legalsystem is already corrupt & collapsed.For so many cases,it takes years for declaration of the result.So many times,evidence is destroyed.Witnesses are murdered.
A criminal kills someone.He gets arrested & court case goes on for 10-15 yrs or sometimes the criminal dies in jail before getting death sentence.Assasinators of Indira Gandhi were alive for years.This happens in case of the Prime Minister of India.What about murder of a common man? So many common people are murdered & nobody even comes to know about it.Even if relatives complain,police just ignores it,does some enquiry & closes the file.Where is the law & legal system? "Nyaydevata" is blind & if it is not blind , it is made blind by corrupt people.
So I am firm on opinion that there should be strict punishment for criminals depending upon the severity of the crime.There should be no excuse.Govt need not supply free food & need not waste electricity & other resources for criminals

I agree with you Sachin, but just I want to ask you one thing, tell me what you will do if your house is filled with garbage, I dont think you will leave the house or just find out the person to blame and live eith it, I think you will try to clean it. I know its a difficult task, almost near to impossible, but not impossible and one thing is for sure any destination is reached only when you start your journey, merely calculating the distance from start up site will nevel let you to reach your destination.

Thats correct even though there is court and laws and all, there are many wholes in the law, the criminals using that to escape from the punishments, so instead avoiding the punishments first we should make the laws hard so that criminals wont escape, after that only we can avoid the Death sentence punishment from the indian law.

The death sentence is the highest form of punishment should never be abolished from the society.Its is for the person with the record of highest form of crimes e.g. rape, brutal murder etc.In several occasions it is found that the criminal offense by the same person has been repeated.this is applicable to criminals committing several types of crime, put behind bars,and after a series of trials if the verdict of death sentence is given then also we see the prayer comes from their end which is moved to higher courts, even to the H'ble President of India so as to minimise the verdict to some extent. We have seen in case of Dhananjoy, accused of Rape and murder of an innocent girl in kolkata. He was hanged till death.But has the cases of rapes gone down, or stopped? But this definitely sets an example and people should think twice before committing such crimes keeping in mind the ultimate result.

Hi sandy,criminals are not like garbage.Garbage can be removed easily.Garbege doesn't have any mind.Criminals have that mindset which is very difficult to change even with psychotherapy.Criminals will always think of new ideas about how to do crime & how to escape from legal matters.They have the mentality of taking revenge also.
There is a proverb in Marathi.It means -"We should not give milk to a snake.Whatever snake drinks,it ultimately produces poison(venom)'.Criminals are like poisonous snakes .One can't predict when criminals will bite

Hi everyone,
Capital punishment has been removed in many countries.But in my opinion they have made a mistake.It has been proved that most of these criminals have a lesion in their frontal lobe which prevents reading the emotion of people as frontal lobe of the brain is responsible for emotion and social activities.They just can't read the emotions of victims.Simply put they are cold.There is no point in trying to reform them.You may argue that they are actually sick people who need care.But it is dangerous to confine them.Consider the cost too.Death sentence can be avoided in people who kill in momentry emotional outburst .But not for cold blooded psychopaths as keeping them alive increases the risk for everyone.Time and again it has been proved that they just can't be cured and the only way is confining or killing.As far as i am concerned death sentence is the best way to deal with these psychos.A person who rapes a child is emotionless.you can neither torture him or reform him.
The fear of death keeps people from becoming an animal.Sane people we come across in day to day life have their own grey areas.Most of them will do unimaginable crimes if there is a lawless situation.They will behave like a primitive animal.The strong will overpower weak.
In my opinion death sentence should be kept alive to keep common people sane and to get rid of psychopaths .

Hi Friends!
In my view, punishment like Death Sentence should definitely be a part of country's avenge law.
In today's imperfect, mean, and cruel world, where there are cases of like Engineer K. Suryanarayana (abducted by the Taliban), Bloodthirsty Bomb Blasts at various cities , killing of hostages in J&K, tandoori case, Noida cannibal child killings etc., even a simple death sentence seems to be very less.
Consider countries like America, UAE etc. where there are very harsh methods of death penalties like electric chair etc., still brutal and merciless crimes do happen. Think if these punishments were not there, then what would have been the scenario ?
Terrorists justifies their merciless & bloodthirsty terror in the name of "Jehad" or "Independence" but, Is this a valid thinking ??. Certainly No, no religion on earth allows one to take a life to fulfill your baseless and greedy needs. Practically, I don't think that if someone politely go to these terrorists and say "Pls don't kill others, it's against humanity" etc., and then these terrorists will understand and give up their terrorism. Even if you put them behind the bars, they operate from there also and plan more killings. The only way to deal with such terrors is by avenging them harshly. There should be no second chance for such murders.
Again, in countries like India etc. where shyness and virginity is a measure of girl's character, Can crimes like rape, molestation be forgiven ?? Such acts forces so many girls to commit suicide or even many girls lost their mental balance and live their remaining life for no good. In Countries like UAE which have death sentence for harassing womens, have crime rates ( for rape etc.) very low.
In my eyes, if somebody is involved in such brutal acts, then he should be treated in the same fashion, there should be no mercy for him.
Life - Sentence can be a substitute but not for all the cases like bomb blasts, brutal murders, cannibal killings etc. It can be sentenced to those, who are not professionals or if there is any little doubt about the case. But it doesn't means that Death sentence should be demolished. And also what is the the guarantee that person sentenced to life-imprisonment, will not try to flee from the jail and will not involve in killings again ? Such person should be hanged immediately or preferably should be encountered on the spot.
I strongly advocate maximum use of Retributive justice concept i.e. life for life, in this way not only criminals are equally punished but also it acts as a strong warning in advance to all those insane and cruel minds who think to indulge themselves in inhuman activities.

The Death Sentence is not a guarantee that we will be safe in future and it does not prevent crime to happen. Even though in the past the death sentence punishment has been given for rape, murder etc still crime on these areas are very high.
Instead of Death Sentences criminal should be more punished with life imprisonment so that the criminal would not be able to do the crime again and he should learn and repent through out his life.
Moreover in India many cases are influenced by politicians and high-society people so we don't know whether justice is being done or not. What if later on we come to know that an inncocent has been hanged?
So in my view as Death sentence does not stop further crime , it should be scrapped.

It is true that death sentence won't guarantee that crimes won't happen in future. But it guarantees that it is not committed by the same person again.
Prisons have become guest houses for criminals.Imprisoning them for life is not right thing to do under current circumstances.Every now and then they are coming out in bail and enjoying.14 years gets halved and they come out in 7 years even if their conduct is poor.
Strengthening the justice system can ensure innocent people are not punished.But scrapping death sentence is like opening the door of our home to all psychopaths and rapists.
Dear friends save all your kindness for people who deserve it.

I see eye to eye with Mr Babu, Death Sentence does prevent crime to happen by the same person, infact it's also a severe warning to others indulging in similar activities.
The number of death sentences are already very less, therefore chances of an innocent being hanged is negligible.

What Aditya & Vijay has written is correct.Death sentence should be there to prevent crime by same criminal.What has been mentioned about frontal lobe lesions in the brain of criminals is also correct.
Death sentence does create a fear in the minds of criminals & at least this fear will prevent them from committing such things
In middle east countries,legal system is very strict & so crime % is less

i am fully agree with Prathyusha & jo Ya it should be there so that
criminal can relize the situation of victim family. & Sparsha don't mind but i just want to say u. we cann't give the life on any dead body but how can we give the chance to kill any body. criminal should have Death Sentence so that the other people can learn lesson from Criminal.and one thing i just want to add in my last line crime is notonly a Mistake which can be negligiale but it had effected the some one
So in my opnion it should be because "Prevent crime before it happens Punishment is often a last-ditch effort, after everything else has failed Preventive approaches"
The Death Sentence as act of giving up hope on the possibility of salvation in this life for the murderer

Death sentence for a culprit is a must. everybody will be fear of death an it will help to reduce crimes. consider the crime rate in our country. its all because of improper punishing law.
we all say that Gandhi's wish was to have a day when a woman walks alone in the streets with jewels and returns safe home.
This event had already happened in our country during the rule of sher khan, a mughal emperor. during that time if a man steal his arms will be cutted, if he rape a woman, he will be beheaded.
The only way to reduce the crime is to harden the punishment.

Dear friends,
Let us see if organized and well planned or premeditated crimes and rash/ negligent behavior on the part of those who commit a crime be given a mild treatment? Is it fair enough to leave the security of the nations and its people, for the sake of saving the life of an individual who is a criminal?
You can not be a Gandhi for all these criminals and ask for pardoning them and give them life sentence or imprisonment of a lesser durations. The hard core criminal mentality of these people never changes and in all likelihood they shall infect the other normal persons living in a civil society.
Crime against humanity should be dealt with a tough capital punishments that too in front of the public. This shall discourage others who are on the verge of committing another crime.
This way awarding death sentence shall prevent recurrence of such heinous acts in our place. We will be able to prevent people from becoming victims in the process.
Therefore, it is better to take the lives of those parasites by killing them for protecting the lives of crores of innocent people.
The criminals are like parasites and therefore they must be hanged till death.

Why do we kill Mosquitoes ? Why do we use AllOut, HIT, Baygon etc.?? Why don't we let Dengue Mosquitoes live and multiply peacefully in our house premises ??? Why don't we give them a chance, may be they leave biting us ????
Mosquitoes doesn't bite us intentionally, they do because they don't have any other options for living. Now, if we don't let
mosquitoes to live, then why should we care about those menace who kill others intentionally.
Take the latest incidence of Delhi Bomb blasts, just after the blasts, e-mail comes in which some terrorist group proudly takes the responsibility of doing these blasts. Even they turned one 10 yr old child into Live Human Bomb. Now how to deal with these groups??
It seems that even simple death sentence is not enough for them.
A very harsh and terrifying death sentence should be invented for such merciless killers. So that even one death sentence horrifies every terrorist so much that they start thinking, it is better to kill yourself instead of getting captured and punished by the law.
Same deed should be done to them as they did to Engineer K. Suryanarayana. Let them taste their own medicine, only then we can see a decline in such bloodthirsty activities.

Hi Aditya,
Great point made by you there. It is true. Some do it for their own livelihood while others commit crimes just to have more comfort and luxury. But what about the terrorists? They neither care about money or luxury or their own life. They are carrying out all the bad activities in the name of Allah and Islam but I feel they are the ones insulting their own religion. Islam should only teach these people a lesson. The basic problem is that some extremist people are creating wrong ideas within young kids and forcing them to resort to terror. There is simply no solution for these people. They want to die but die in such a way that they kill others also. This is sad.
Regards,
Ankush Das

Aditya it is very easy to give examples by correlating with anu sppecies like you have right now correlated with mosquitoes, but then I think why general people are not killed or not allowed to kill because we kill Goats, Chicks and Pigs too just for our dishes.
But my friend heman beings are different from these species and God had made this difference, intelligence, sense of humor, thoughts and all feelings depends on the proportion of brain to rest of the body, I am not telling this but Science says and human beings have the largest proportion, so it is very irrelevant to compare with mosquito or any thing else. You cant motivate a mosquito but you can motivate, inspire and encourage a human being.

Yes the terrorist group are blood thirsty, because their mentality and psychology has been developed to do so, its not that the leader of the group gathered some people and just given the bombs in their hands and said go and spread terror, they have been made to perform such act by giving mental treatment, their feelings, emotions has been developed like that, and now they dont have fear of their own life even,
Here the topic is completely different, it is about death sentence-yes or no. And if a group of terrorist can make person deovting their life to spread terror why cant our system and we can make them develop into a responsiblr citizen. If we hang one 100 will develop but if we changew one 100 can be changed.

In my view, it's impossible to change the mentality of a terrorist.They are trained and their minds are washed right from their childhood, they taught things like spreading terrorism, killing alive people, is the only way to achieve "Jehad" etc.
I don't think, If anybody will go to a terrorist and say like " Killing is bad, pls don't kill us, pls change etc.", terrorist will agree and stops killing. Even they are so hard to break that they prefer to die instead of revealing their organization details.
We must not relate feelings of love, affection, humanity, God blessings etc. with terrorism. In the name of humanity, we can't allow such person to have a second chance for creating bloodbath and the only way to stop their second chance is the Death Sentence.
If we want to change somebody, let's change our thousands of Indian brothers first who are behind the Indian jails/bars for doing comparatively much less serious crimes like thefts etc.
I mean in trying to change the mentality of a terrorist, if our efforts fail and they again kill more people ( of which probability is very high ), then who will be responsible ????
For me severe and harsh death sentences should be there and it is one of the most effective ways to fight with terrorism.

i agree with you aditya .........you are 100% correct there should be some limit for every thing and i think the number of crimes decrease only by punishing the criminals severely like death sentence so i think in order to control the criminals death sentence is must

Really it is very bad to have the Death punishment in a democratic country like India. The law should be reschedule

Its already more than 10 days for this group discussion and now I think, there should be another provocative topics like this. I request Ramkumar who deals with this to start another heart- throbbing topic now for group discussion.

Hi All,
I strongly feel that we do not have the take away something that we cannot give. If a criminal is killed for killing another person, by killing him are we not committing the same crime even though under law. Should the person be given a chance to correct his mistake. But another question that might be asked is are we not risking another person's life by keeping him alive. But we judge others by our own perspective which can be wrong. Our wrong verdict can result in a irreversible process.

Hi everyone,
Let us face the truth.These terrorists,killers and rapists can't be reformed.Remember Kandahar,remember the newly wed who was killed.we all know those terrorists should have been killed as soon as they were arrested.We kept alive and we paid the price.Even they could have masterminded the delhi blasts.See " A WEDNESDAY " to realise the pain of common man.Killing those terrorists is not a crime.It is service to our fellow human beings.
These terrorists,rapists and pscho killers are like weeds.If we allow them to thrive our garden can't blossom.These people can't be part of our mankind.

Police should kill these terrorists in encounters.So many police officers have sacrificed their lives during encounter.
Some police officers are really aggressive & they create such encounter situations & kill the terrorists,Such officers should be congratulated & promoted.

Hi friends,
I think this discussion is going on well, there are many comments to this discussion, and i am also continuously contributing with this discussion, many friends told different opinions about this discussion, about most of them told that Death can be there but it should not be given for all murder cases, instead of that there is should some forgiving options for the prisoners who are judged for the Death punishment.

the punishment is not justified,should be hanged till death. death punishment does not give time to the criminal to repent for his deeds but life term makes him cry from within for his henius crime. I recommend strict laws including death sentence to a criminal. But my delima is that in this world as the rate of corruption is increasing I would never like an innocent man being framed for somebody elses crime.
