Death Penalty and India

The death penalty is as inhuman as the crime which motivates it.
Do you think that India should abolish the death penalty in law?

Lp53 says: NO


Vs says: YES . 2 wrongs do not make a right.


Vamsi says: this is a very tricky issue ... if a convict is found guilty for circumstances which are very heinous ... then surely life imprisonment should be given to him ... but ... even if that person becomes a liability for the whole community ... even after him getting life imprisonment ... then he/she should be hanged ... no mercy ... the aim of the courts should be to reduce the crime ... and penalties should be used so that no one dares to commit that same mistake again ... courts should ensure that judgements are given ... 1. to punish the culprit ... 2. to tell the society what would be the consequences of doing crimes


Niceguy251 says: Death penalty should be awarded for henious crimes like rape and murder or dowry murder or to hired killers. For other case life imprisonment not just for 14 years but till death be awarded with hard labour and proceds of such work should go to dependents of the victims, if there are no dependents then money should go for educating underprivileged children though some honest NGOs.


Ruggedboyz says: In a mean tough world, a death penalty is an essential, one who lives in 21st century may comeup with it being too strict a call for a criminal but if their is not the fear that the judicial will come down hard on unscrupulous men/women. they shall not stop from their erratic ways of making money or means of vindication

...yes....
...I think that not only India but also that all nations should aspire to and rapidly to attain abolition....alternatives to capital punishment exist....those alternatives have by approximately sixty per cent of the world been adopted....
...India is too great a nation ethically to ally itself in this instance with the People's Republic of China, with Saudi Arabia, with Iran and with the United States of America, the world's leading executioners....
...please reference Mahatma Gandhi as a philosophic muse....he would not under any circumstances have killed....
...in peace....
