I agree that it is inhuman and unnatural to kill someone in cold-blood and we do not want a society that accepts death penalty as a just sentence, yet we are not the ones who directly suffered in this crime. It is easier for us to take a humanitarian perspective. But, the truth is that crime deserves punishment and no punishment in the Indian law is harsh enough to equal this crime. It is important to realize the limitations of our judiciary and even more important to realize the limitations of the society we live in. Your post describes this paradox very well, and I do hope that it gives new thought to at least some people who rejoiced on the streets on hearing the death sentence on Friday.E se ay-seetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11352207195399831546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-184978817022971377.post-11406863666479843212013-09-13T18:37:22.568-07:002013-09-13T18:37:22.568-07:00Bravo for a humanistic view, Leeya.

If we wait until all individuals deserve the society we envision, our destiny will be shaped more by their choices than by ours.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12289707630975929586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-184978817022971377.post-30947980396337185912013-09-13T09:11:23.059-07:002013-09-13T09:11:23.059-07:00http://www.tehelka.com/death-for-rapists-are-we-pr...http://www.tehelka.com/death-for-rapists-are-we-prepared-to-deal-with-the-bloody-trail/leeya mehtahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18090453445101247583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-184978817022971377.post-57013900364377908252013-09-13T08:48:55.565-07:002013-09-13T08:48:55.565-07:00See the WSJ's report on the sentencing:
