KASAB - beyond religion, nationality and the death sentence

I love my parents; if mom sneezes, I run to see what is bothering her; just as she did every time I needed anything when I was a kid.

“What’s so great about that? Isn’t everyone like that for their parents and their near and dear ones?” If that is the thought you have then I have to agree with you. You are right, it is completely normal, we all love and care for our near and dear ones. That’s how it is supposed to be.

Now imagine the person you love most in your life being terrorised, hunted down and killed like a hapless beast by a few strangers with a swagger for nothing he or she did. Don’t just imagine it, visualize it...please.

That’s exactly what Ajmal Kasab and his associates did on 26th November. They walked into our lives, hunted down and murdered helpless people. Hard working people who were heading home to their families. Lives were destroyed, generations have been affected, healthy people lost their limbs. Kasab and friends killed people they had never met or known and they laughed and chatted with each other while doing it.

Pity, remorse, regret? Sense of responsibility? These are words barbarians like Kasab don’t understand.

To quote Ranjan Roy’s blog “If you were living on Arthur Road in Mumbai, you'd like to wake up in the morning, sip tea in the veranda as you pore over the morning papers. That's what Ajmal Kasab, the newest celebrity resident of Arthur Road, albeit its jail, wants to do. He has also demanded perfume to clear the air around him and wants back the money that his Pakistani terror trainers had packed into his rucksack before they sent him off on a murderous sail to Mumbai.”

Death sentence for Ajmal Kasab is a foregone conclusion, it’s a no brainer!

Gargoyles like him have no religion or country or purpose. they thrive on fear and weakness. to him and his kind, civilisation and law are weaknesses so please don’t just kill him, work his sentence in stages. Here are some humble suggestions:

1. Castrate the bastard
2. Hang him naked in full public view outside Chartrapati Shivaji Terminus
3. Let pigs feed on him (Hannibal style)
4. Let him feed on human excreta
5. Sodomize him 9 times a day

Keeping his likes in mind, I further recommend that all of the above should be shown live on reality TV or web only for his satisfaction. We all know how much he loves publicity, we can even have an electric prod handy to keep reminding him to smile for the cameras. He would love that, after all we know how much he loves attention and playing games for publicity.

As far as his death sentence is concerned, I hope it’s not by electric chair because my country has a power shortage. Why waste what little there is on him? The next option would be gas chamber but then that’s just an accelerated form of living in any one of our polluted cities.

His death sentence should be by hanging from a handmade jute or Khadi rope. Making that rope would generate employment here and it would symbolise the power of our small-scale industry, it would also promote Swadeshi. Lastly, hanging Kasab to death by hanging on a jute or khadi rope will also send a message to other worms like Kasab that their violent ways will end will at the hands of the most non-violent people in the world...followers of our beloved Mahatma Gandhi ;)
