Objection my lord! A common phrase if you have ever seen a bollywood film. But I really OBJECT I vehemently object to the gross mishandling of the Indian spirit, by the judiciary and the supporting political and administrative systems in India that make it possible for our over liberal and forgiving judiciary to make a mockery of resilience of the Indian spirit. The bravely which the Indian police, MARCOS and NSG showed has been spit at in the face, by acquitting Shahabuddin & Faheem Ansari the 2 accused in 26/11 case, and even nurturing the thought that Kasab may not be given the life sentence and that even if he is, he has the right to appeal the decision in the supreme court of India, and even after that the president can pardon his crime and the audacity of Pakistan to demand the extradition of Kasab????
Probably the government has misunderstood our resilience as being neuter. Just because the Taj & Oberoi hotels reopened and people still travel by local train and commute via CST everyday day in and day out DOES NOT MEAN NOTHING HAPPENED, or that the PUBLIC DOES NOT REMEMBER. Something did happen, has been happening repeatedly, and the public does remember each of those events in full vivid detail. So do not mistake our silence or you will be risking converting a most tolerant and forgiving nation into a radical extremist force, once we decide to start showing you how to do your job Mr. Tahiliani.
I, the common man demands to know why did the judiciary needed 18 months to restate an obvious fact. That the swine Kasab was indeed responsible to gunning down 72 innocent people, when we had undisputable evidence by means of eye witness accounts and CCTV film footage of the swine spraying bullets on Indian citizens who are my brothers and sisters according to the pledge that I have read for 10 years of my life at school assembly standing right next to Kaizad Kamdin my classmate and 26/11 victim because both of us were the tallest in the class and stood at the end of the row.
I, the common man of India demands the account of the crores of Indian tax payers’ money to keep these undeserving vermin alive! 35 crores was the figure I remember from a TOI report earlier, I do not mind paying tax, as long as it is used properly. Is it not a better use to spend the 35 crores on equipment for the security agencies? I would much rather have them spent on a research project awarded to the IITs to develop a light weight bullet proof body armor to protect the brave men like Kalaskar, Kamte, Karkare, and Unnikrishnan who walked into their deaths knowing fully well that they were underequipped. I want this suit to be indigenously developed so that it does not become another reason for some corrupt politician to earn a kickback. I would like to spend that money on buying Kalashnikov rifles for the constables on duty that day that faced the frenzy of the madman Kasab with single-shot-load-reload 303 rifles. I correct myself Kasab is not a madman. He is completely sane and till date shows no signs of remorse.
In my view death by hanging or electric chair is too simple, for such crimes. An appropriate sentence would be death by starvation. a slow and elongated death in full public view, so that he serves as an example to the rest of his type what is the consequence of messing with a most tolerant and forgiving nation.

Dear Diwakar.
Nice read indeed. You are right in asking why 18 month taken by the court to declare Kasab guilty, it should be open and shut case -- 2 day trial but since we know that our investigative agencies tried to get more information from Kasab, some kinds of pattern in his reply which we dont know but could help intelligence agencies.
The police officer arrested him also knew that Kasab is a guilty, but the question is why he arrested and not killed him on spot. Intention was to catch bigger fish i.e coach and not the player. Intelligence would not share the information collected from Kasab to the public but of course they should have got some thing, some clue of who is behind all these etc etc
For any country their constitution is superior and should be respected and followed properly by all. Giving fair chance to defend every one (including Kasab) is one of the constitutional point. Which I think is right because later say 50 year, no body will ask question about present. Now, once you have such clause then lawyers use that and gets date and in that period they try to buy/harass/negotiate witnesses -- remember Tareekh par tareekh (DAMINI movie).
18 month was taken because of 3 different lawyers were appointed to him but still its long I AGREE but not that too long. Now about acquitting two other person, court did not get any evidence so what should they do. Police story against these two accused is that they helped Kasab in Mumbai map, Judge said that google has better map.

Starving Kasab will not bring the dead people back or heal the injured. Neither will it set an example to deter others nor will it teach him a lesson. On the other hand, it will put us in the club of nations (if we are not already there) that flagrantly violate human rights by publicly beheading them or stoning them to death. Much to our dislike, we cannot change the fact that Kasab is human too and therefore will have to be treated as such.
I feel that capital punishment will make him a martyr in the eyes of aspiring terrorists.
