Sick of all thisBy: Indian | Wednesday , 29 Apr '09 7:41:56 AM Reply | Forward The whole of India is so sick of all this.Why dont we just shoot that SOB right in front of the Gateway of India where he came to our motherland. He has hurt our Mother and no son of Bharat mata has the patience to go by books / trials.We wanted to prove a point and we have proved it.So I have no clue wht we are waiting for.What are we going toa gain now from all this. I realy now feel like justice delayed is justice denied to the millions of Indians.I dont remember any terrorist being punished.

DUE PROCESS OF LAWBy: Onkar | Wednesday , 29 Apr '09 3:24:01 AM Reply | Forward Dear All, do not forget that we have a due process clause in Indian constitution. This clause was not originally inserted by Constituent committee but Supreme Court interpreted it. This has changed whole scenario of country for better or worse. Unfortunately or fortunately we are not China, somebody is right in calling this a dance of democracy. It appears to me that Kasab's case amply shows weakness of Indian democracy and how Indian democracy is failed system.

Adult KasabBy: Dr. Ram Chander Sharma | Tuesday , 28 Apr '09 20:23:19 PM Reply | Forward Kasab is not a minor. The rigrous trainig given to the terrorists of 26/11 carnage it self shows that the mission was not a child's play. Indians and the world wants to know the real motives of the attackers. Now need of VIP trial for Kasab just for vote bank politics as is with Afzal.

TerroristsBy: Eddy | Tuesday , 28 Apr '09 20:10:36 PM Reply | Forward The lawyer for the Somali pirate caught and now put on trial in new York also tried the same tactic. And the tests have proven that he is above 18 and can be tried as an adult. It is not lost on the American public that the Pirate is a follower of Islam, and hence yet another case of Islamo-fascist waging war against the United States. Let this criminal fry in the electric chair!

Mockery of Democracy and Judicial System!By: Shailu | Tuesday , 28 Apr '09 19:23:05 PM Reply | Forward Its all well said that one is not a criminal till he's proven guilty. The whole world saw him with his AK-47 at the CST Terminus... he has recorded statements as to when and why he joined the movement. How can we forget the fact that millions are being spent on his security at Arthur Rd. This money could be well-spent elsewhere..... national and state security being one them. I agree that we need to safeguard his life soc we can yield maximum information that could help our government understand where our security went wrong and how this could be prevented but giving this guy a 'fair' trial is nothing but mockery of our system. What is the defence trying to prove here? Has the attorney forgotten that he is still an INDIAN and that he is only wasting time and delaying justice. Isn't this unfair to the hundreds who've lost their lives, to our army and our soldiers and commandoes who saw death in the face on 26/11??

MockeryBy: P L Selva Mani | Thursday , 30 Apr '09 11:56:43 AM Reply | Forward This trial was done at the instance of the Chief Justice of India, which only goes to prove as to how far removed is our Judiciary from ground reality.Knowing fully how slow is the whole system we have still commenced this ridiculous charade thereby discrediting the judicial system. Will any body explain how this will enhance the common man's faith in the judiciary ?

Kasab proven NOT to be a juvenile!!By: Tapan Bose( Flt.Lt.-IAF.Retd.) | Tuesday , 28 Apr '09 17:31:30 PM Reply | Forward This is DELAYING TACTICS by the Defence counsel/Pakistan sympathisers!! Juvenile or adult,he IS A TERRORIST

Accelerate the fulfillment of Devine Promise to KasabBy: Jas | Tuesday , 28 Apr '09 17:31:18 PM Reply | Forward Kasab is not minor, so I guess he is eligible to get those seventy plus hoors(heavenly beauties)promised to him by the great merciful one. I hope the Indian justice system is not an obstacle for too long for the fulfillment of devine promise to a believer for killing the infidels.

Why not trying a juvenile as an adult?By: Animesh | Tuesday , 28 Apr '09 17:04:29 PM Reply | Forward I am confused as to why the defense even tried this tactic. Can't the Indian courts try "juveniles as adults" in special circumstances? I mean I am all for proper procedure, but am surprised that the prosecution did not play the "we can try juveniles as adults" card.In any case, nice to see the process going "by the book". Lets prove to the world that we can fight terror while still upholding the law.

Also for of vital cluesBy: Surendran P. | Tuesday , 28 Apr '09 16:51:46 PM Reply | Forward Kasab's trial is as important as the custody and interrogations he had. The trial proceedings would also confirm to the international community as to what transferred and on record. Though he deserves a quick maximum punishment he should also be submited to reveal maximum information regarding the monsters behind the episode. Comparing revelation of these vital clues, his punishent and closing of the case will not be a gain to India.

Ossification proves that Kasab is not minorBy: Unnikrishnan | Tuesday , 28 Apr '09 16:15:46 PM Reply | Forward It appears to be foolish to prove that Khasab is not a juvenile. After all it is crystal clear that he has waged a war against our country. In this case it does not matter whether Khasab is a juvenile or not. Any way, we as Indians should prove to the world that the trial has been fair. But, we must prove that we are ruthless and tough when dealing with such people. Jai Hind.
