To kill someone can never be demeaned as civil, but this statement stands in stark contradiction to what India has done. India has killed someone and yet she has managed to remain morally clean and ideologically pristine. The hanging of Kasab can be considered nothing less than a clean example of the prevailing sense of justice in India. India has showcased to the world its adherence to justice and its ability to provide a fair trial to all alike.
Before we start off on our analysis of what had happened its better we know a little background of the things. The Kasab we talk about here is the lone terrorist who has been captured alive after the 26/11 attack on Mumbai. The one terrorist strike that has made the whole nation stand on its toes for over a couple of days. Such was the magnanimity of the attacks that the nation was never the same again. After four years of intense judicial procedures he was sent to the gallows yesterday, signalling the end of one India's most awaited trials.
The fact that he was send to the gallows is not what matters, any nation would have did the same may be even sooner. But India did something very few of the nations would ever ensure, India did that what can only be provided by a superior nation. India gave its supreme criminal, the one that deserved no mercy a chance to defend himself and plead innocence. India gave Kazab a lawyer and open for him all the avenues of its legal system. India made no haste and spared no expense, it did no mock trials and it made no hasty judgements. It let the case go as any other case of the same would go on this soil. It preserved the interest of the defaulter, treated him as a human and hence ensured that after its all over it shall rise high and mighty.
As a citizen of India, I ma well aware of the feelings of its people, I have at first hand understood and empathised with there anger and angst. They wanted it over fast, they wanted him hanged and were tired of waiting. They were desperate for justice and this is easier to understand. The fact that the nation showed much will power in ensuring that justice shall take its turn is praise worthy especially considering that the other option was for many a reason far more attractive and hassle free. But then again a nation has to stand for its ideals, A nation is not the barb wires that separate it, but it is the ideas , ideals and the morality its determined to uphold.
Ideal and Morality? Is that what you call it? It takes four years to deliver justice in an open and shut case? If I were you I would think we are living in a highly inefficient system!
ReplyDeleteAn Ideal Judicial system is never the one that makes haste in its decisions, it has to be thought of from angles. An ideal judicial system considers every one whom so ever it may be and how "open and shut" the case may be to be innocent and in the process proves his guilt and not the other way around.
DeletePerhaps the Government has done the right thing this time ... but then, a nation can't become great just by carrying out death sentences on terrorists. There are so many other issues like corruption that needs proper care. Morality cannot be judged by one decision, many more examples need to be set in various fields !!!
ReplyDeleteI admit the fact remains that all is not well in India but then there is also hope, even if it is only faint and even if it is only a glimmer. But isn't that still enough to hope for a tomorrow that will be brighter. This verdict is nothing but a small blade of grass in the vast snow, yet it signifies the onset of spring doesn't it.
ReplyDeletePost 26/11, for a long time, I couldn't get the image of a burning Hotel Taj dome, out of my mind. So upon knowing that Kasab is given a lawyer and a trial, I was enraged. I couldn't understand why is someone like him shown any sign of mercy.He does not deserve it. But now when I look back, i feel it wasn't about what he deserves, it is about what we stand for as a nation. By giving him a fair trial, inspite of all the anger, we have proved that we hold our morals above emotions.
ReplyDeleteMy world, my thoughts, my musings...
Indeed we did and we can all be proud of our self when it comes to that.
DeleteIn the same way....Wish India applies ideals in everything! Not just in this case...Nice post :)
ReplyDeleteI know we are all pretty disappointed about were India is heading and It s a good thing that certain progresses are bring made. It gives us hope and hope is very essential for the morale of the people. I am sure in time India will learn to apply its moral good judgement to all aspects. It may take time but it will.
