Is capital punishment justified?

Yes it is.

I say for two reasons,

1.Its shows some solace to the grieving victims (forget the Bhopal gas tragedy)

2.It acts as a deterent to other Kasablikes.

I am told people are against capital punishment, I beg to differ again for many reasons

1.Reformation of any individual depends on the individual itself, not possible to reform all.

2.It shows the establishment (in this case government and judiciary) as weak and indecisive (like in ayodhya case)

3.Also the powerful seems to find ways to escape punishment fairly easily (like in ruchika molestation case)

4.Also there seems to be lot of resources (money and time)which can be utilised to better purposes of protecting the countrymen.

A nation should be where its subjects are able to live with peace, freedom and without fear 

The judiciary and the government are for the innocent and law-abiding citizens of the nation, and not to protect and harness the criminals. It is noticed that it is these law-abiding citizens that often face the brunt of these criminals if they are not punished with urgency shown into the matter.If one criminal is saved the punishment is always for the innocents.Most definitely the masterminds should also be given capital punishment.

It also shows the country having strength and authority and not just a banana republic.

Often people ask whether human is bestowed to take another’s life ,APJ Kalam did also speak about the same when is rejected the mercy petition of the rape accused. I am to believe that while doing  duty,  my subjects(in this case the citizens and victims family members) are of paramount interest  to me ,hence there should be absolute righteousness in my conduct ,I am to believe the gita also supports the argument.

Many spiritual leaders may have different take on capital punishment, but as an establishment and authority am for capital punishment ,for the simple reason of serving my deserving subjects better.
