Even hanging him will fall short of what he deserves. If he is not given capital punishment, then no other criminal in history deserves to be given capital punishment. Those who vouch for a life imprisonment for him, should step into the shoes of those who lost their near and dear ones because of this maniac...

Dear kavitha, There is no doubt he should be hanged. As a matter of fact Capital punishment in India is restricted to the RAREST OF RARE CASES only. it's the judiciary to determine which one is rarest of rare case. As far as a common murder is considered whether it is pre planned or chance medley generally Life imprisonment is awarded to the accused who is found guilty since the objective of punishment is reformation than punitive. But in this case Kasab deserves no leniency because his act is well planned with the intention of killing innocents and diffusing terror in the minds of laymen in India. Besides his act amounts to waging war against India. We all saw him firing and killing innocent people, women and children with the same pleasure a cricketer plays his shot or a footballer score a goal. In his case there is no chance of reformation and it's not the duty of Republic of India to reform a pakistan national who waged war against India .Over and above if he is given life imprisonment these nasty cowards may hijack our flights and may take to some of their strong hold , or abduct some of our politician mostly from kashmir and will demand his release. We cannot give them a chance like that. Regarding your second point:- - As far as accused is concerned he has got some rights granted by our constitution. Our constitution & laws are so liberal& transparent that there is no discrimination between nationals & non nationals. We are against racism. In India an accused is presumed to be innocent until he is proved guilty. These are all the strong characteristics of a developed democracy. And in a civilized and strong democratic set up and as per the charters of United nations there are some procedures to be followed in a criminal trial. One among it is fair trial. Another one is Audi Altem Partem which means hear both sides. Any judgment passed without hearing both sides or declining an opportunity for the accused in a criminal trial is against our constitution. India the constitution is considered as mother of all laws. Another important right of an accused is his right to avail legal assistance.Now in Kasab's case we have given him fair chance to present his case. Legal assistance is provided to him by the state free of cost. And the trial was conducted in open not in camera. So everything is transparent now. There is no doubt for any of the international society, or the United Nations that there is corruption, Bias, unfairness in his trial. Evidence were produced and proved and the court found him guilty and definitely his sentence will be pronounced.As told by you if he is straight away convicted it amounts nothing less than lynching in a civilized and democratic society where rule of law prevails. I can understand yours & some of my other friend’s indignation. But as a responsible state in the world India cannot act barbaric. We have proved to the world how good a democratic state we are and has reinforced our prominence in the international scenario. We have shown to the world that a barbaric criminal like kasab also will get free and fair trial in India at our cost and as a responsible state India is committed to rule of law and international covenants.Now kasab will have the right o appeal and for presidential clemency. What we can do is we can expedite the procedures and can make a final decision. Pls don’t misunderstand or derogate our judicial system. Because i know how voluminous will be a charge sheet having 1500+ pages. How difficult is to prepare it. How difficult it is collect documentary evidence, testamentary evidence, statements, forensic etc . and to adduce evidence, examining witnesses etc. After that the lawyers need to go through the evidence and prepare of arguments, the judge need to study the entire case, evidence produced, apply his mind judiciously then need to write a judgment of 1500 + pages. They have done it in record time. If not applauded pls don't criticize.Hope you understand my point.

No doubt he should be hanged, well need to understand that this is only small mind definitely not responsible for all, he has been just used as bullet which require ultimately gun to get fired, to fire a gun one require to trigger it, and to trigger the gun one require the intention.so if we are so equipped that we could reach to that intention then that intention should be hanged. But ultimately we cannot so let that bullet hang.

Hi Kavita, of course he should be hanged for what he has done and as far as his mother's word are concerned, which mother will suggest to hang his son but the fact is that even his mother is advocating for his life imprisonment, shows how heinous a crime he committed.

Already we invested so much money on his security...I know Americans take information and then kill them some day......but in India its difficult to be like an American because we have so many options to get out of jail like bribing, manipulating, or good behavior...He shouldn't give chance to think for escaping.

Definitely he should be hanged if he is given life imprisonment he might apply for mercy...or he will be re-leaved for good behavior on October 2nd or August 15th...there are evidence, eye witnesses, I don't know why Govt. is waiting for judgment already we kept him alive for 17 months its too late....now he will appeal in High court and later Supreme court. And Govt. is investing millions and millions for his security. Keep in mind that he killed 166+ Indians in Mumbai incident.

The sacrifice of our brave Armymen who as part of NSG laid down their lives should not go waste. Hanging would send the right signal that ours is not a weak government. However it should not get entagled in the famous beauracratic circle which is known for its delay and inefficiency.

The death sentence is given in the rarest of cases , when it is seen that the offence committed is very grave , and there is no possibility of the criminal reforming himself and becoming a contributing member of society once more. In this case , since Kasab's crime is against our country , it is unlikely that he is going to reform and become a member of our society. He may reform and become a member of his home country's society , but Pakistan has not even acknowledged his guilt. Keeping him in prison for a lifetime is only going to cost the Indian taxpayer. If the judiciary is absolutely sure of his guilt , then it should pronounce the death sentence on him.

just go through you tube and check out his confessions.Even if we are in his condition we may be doing that,the poverty,the climate of his surroundings made him to choose that path.Hanging him doesn't change any thing.After few years we won't be remembering his name at all.I agree what he did is not acceptable but killing him doesn't mean that all the sufferers of 26/11 will be getting justice we have to go to underneath of it,the people planning,the people using young poor people as their target and using them for killing others.

when we talk about the killings committed by qasab,we forget to reflect on one important thing,what made him do dat? what made him become a terrorist? people like qasab..it's going to be unacceptable to hear everyone but i think they are victims..they are moulded in a way that we cannot even imagine..made to watch,think,feel atrocities on their people by others 24*7 ..it's is difficult to understand and accept..i may be wrong..but afterall in the end we do not get anything..may be satisfaction that now the souls of who dies can rest in peace..some may argue here that if we grant life sentence he may run or be taken away by the "real culprits"..as has happened earlier when an indian plane was hijacked..here we need to trust our security forces..qasab is also a human being.he can not get away with the fact that he has taken away happiness from the lives of so many people ..but killing is not a solution for killing..instead we can make him transform himself..stayong in prison he can be punished in a way that he will have to live with his act thorughout his life..and become a better human being..

How can he be hanged just one time where he has killed hundreds of lyfs and drowned 1000's lifes. he must be cruelly punished and others hearing of the kind of punishment given to him must be afraid even of think doing such an act.

HANGED UNTILL DEATH is the verdict that most would be willing to award him but would that be the right choice to punish the guilty? Kasab had already died morally and ethically when he joined the ranks of militants and he would nothing more than leaving the physical world by being hanged. More appropriate would be to award him a RIGROUS LIFE IMPRISONMENT, let him live with the agony and fact for all his life. What worst life would it be for him for live all through thereafter? Good debate to have and refer too Kavitha.

HI Kavitha, I understand he has committed a mistake and even understand that terrorism has troubled india in many ways and many times. So if you are we deserve that he must be hanged that what he gets is scot free for killing all 166 people and If you jail him until till death then others will learn that India will teach a leasson for all so that they will remember till they die and what in case pakisthan government says the proof you provided is not sufficient :) so only answer is Kasab. I Feel this will set an example for all that if they continue to war on india through Terrirism then Penalty is torture till they Die.....

what i believe that waiting for death is the biggest punishment
rather than killing they should.
By killing at once you let him free from every sufferings.
we should also place an example in front of every one that what be believe we practice
also.The real punishment for these types of people is fear that they should beg for death
which is finishing all of their suffering but they are also denied with that.
He was on suside mission that will die and become shaheed
but I believe they must not become shaheed but they should live and get all type
of suffering in this world.

Living would and should be a nightmare for him. He should live every moment of his life being completely hounded by his deed of being ruthless and cruel. He should be made to rue his purpose of living. He should live a living death. Good answer Ravindra & Sarika!

Just killing will make him free of this life. I think we should keep him alive, take out all kinds of information from him regarding training and hideouts of Lashkar and torture him like American police does with terrorists.
