Today I am going to share my views on a controversial topic “Should there be a death penalty for mentally retarded people ”?
- What’s a point in levying the most dreadful punishment on some one who can’t even comprehend what exactly “Death Punishment ” means?
There are a few questions that comes to my mind
- Can a retarded person even help his lawyer in defending him? He must not be in a state of mind to recall the incidents. Moreover, he won’t realize that in which circumstances incidents occurred.
- Why does the court levy extreme punishments? The only reason I find it is that the court creates fear in the minds of the criminals before they commit any serious crime. But do we really think that a person who doesn’t have the right state of mind can actually comprehend the consequences of his actions?
- Without any second thoughts I do believe in the safety of “We the people”. Therefore, it’s obvious that mentally retarded people who can pose a threat to the society be detained.
- Moreover, mentally retarded people are not able to understand the complicated court proceedings. They even find it hard to cope up with the vigorous court sessions that are quite demanding even for a normal person. That’s why people often loose their temper.
- There should be a special team of people who handle cases of mentally retarded people as they are quite vulnerable in nature.
Everyday, there is a new episode to the Ajmal Kasab confessions. Sometimes it sounds hilarious on how Ajmal Kasab jaw dropping made up testimonies leave the court wondering what’s his next intention and motive.
Ajmal Kasab’s new build up confessions can literally make him a psychopathic maniac
I wasn’t the one at CST, my look alike
I don’t know how to use an AK-47
I came to Mumbai 20 days before 26/11 to watch movies
I came by Samjhauta Express to Delhi with valid passport, visa
Kasab claimed David Headley was among 4 FBI agents who questioned him
The case has gone bizarre with the above statements by Ajmal Kasab. Ram gopal Verma can actually make a movie out of it!
• I am sure not many people remember the serial “Bhanwar” that used to be telecasted on Sony TV. I would like to refresh the memory of all those people who don’t remember it or who are not even aware of it. Bhanwar is a series of real life crime stories of those people who went through a horrific time.
• For all those people who have missed the serial in the past can now watch it on Fox History at 11pm Tuesday. I had seen some of it’s episodes long time back but still I would love to watch it again as it’s dramatization of the real life incidents are outstanding. Take my words for it! Bhanvar is an interesting combination of events that unfold in the most attention-grabbing way.
• As it’s based on real life stories therefore it requires a lot of research to get the insight and detailed information about the case. In order to cross check the facts and figures the team of Bhanvar contacted every member of the case. It’s really impressive that how every minute detailing of every single life incident is captured in the most realistic way. It depicts the kind of emotional trauma the victim’s family goes through for years and years and still in the end still they don’t get justice.
• Everybody is aware of the fact that how justice in the Indian court is denied. And for how long a person has to go through the proceedings of the court. In cases where the justice is delivered there also you have to wait for years and years. There are thousands of verdicts that have released powerful criminals or where innocent people suffered. Why? Either they are not powerful enough or they are not financially strong.
• I only know handful of the cases where criminals got convicted like Jessica Lal Murder case. But HOLD ON how long it had taken for the court to wake up to the reality? Thanks and salute to Jessica Lal’s sister who stood by what she believed in and fought the battle against all those stinking corrupt high profile politicians.
• BUT MIND IT – Justice delayed is Justice denied. Usually, many of the victims just give up because they don’t have the will power to fight for that long or they lack funds to pay to the lawyers.
First of all it’s not a review of the movie. It’s more about realization of few important thoughts which ‘We The People” needs to understand.
The movie was released in way back 2004. I recently watched it and found a masterpiece. The movie is based on a book by S. Hussein Zaidi. I remember when the movie was released I was reluctant to watch it because it was like “re- living the most horrendous moments of 1993 blasts”
The film has depicted some of the facts in a nerve wrecking way. Some of the dialogues have so much deep meaning to it. I still remember 1993 Mumai Blasts, though I was a kid.
But still you can comprehend when your country goes through a disastrous and painful incident. It left the whole country numb. Needless to say, it’s a contentious issue to portrait.
The issue required the director and the writer - to bring out the emotions and pain of both the Muslims and Hindus. One aspect of the movie represents the very fact on how terrorists groups take advantage of jobless people.
When an individual goes through tough times where they dont have any funds to even survive. Sometimes situations make them fragile and as a result anyone can brainwash their mind. Especially, for young people who become vulnerable and look for options that can provide them financial help for their family.
All the characters of the movie have given an outstanding performance. The writers and the director of the movie have studied the incidents before the the blasts when communal riots happened and also the aftermath of the blasts.
The view point of Hindu’s religious communities and Muslim immigrants are shared without any bias feeling. The “Babri Masjid” incident and the brutal killings of thousands of innocent civilians make you numb.
One incident in the movie which says it all is when one of the terrorists gets arrested and then starts defending his actions by saying that it’s a “jihad” i.e the power of God have influenced us to commit the attack against Hindu’s. Then Kay Kay menon who is the inspector in the movie says. If Allah was with you then you would never have got caught.
It’ so true, as it’s a fact that some of the Muslim terrorists groups shield themselves by labeling their attacks as “Jihad”.

Vibs:- Reply to your comments.
One of the main reason of the communal riots is because the political parties also benefit from it. Therefore, they don’t do anything to gain a control on the whole situation. Actually, we can’t solely blame anyone for the riots. There are many factors that needz to be studied. For example:-
Some people have a belief that whatever is happening is justified from their point of view. Due to the fact that in the past either of the party (hindus or muslims) faced injustice. ( Both muslims and hindus have their justifications and stories when they suffered). Whenever I talk abou this with anyone - all they come up with is ” They also did this n dat in the past” So it has become a kind of revenge on other religionz.
Second of all, there are certain section of people ( both muslim and hindus) who literally oppose the attacks against any religion but they are too afraid to come forward and share their opinions.
For instance, muslims are being treated with suspicion everywhere, whether its in India or Abroad. Not all muslims are terrorists and there are some genuine muslims who are peacemakers/peacekeepers.
But the point is “every terrorists always turn out to be a muslim”, that’s why muslims always fall in the category of mistrust. And “We the People” you and me are helpless every time we witness some or the other kind of religious violence. Sometimes, I feel remorseful for Muslims that they get unfaur treatment.
It is always the false that makes you suffer, the false desires and fears, the false values and ideas, the false relationships between people. Abandon the false and you are free of pain; truth makes happy, truth liberates. — Sri Nisargadatta
