A murder does not directly translate into a death sentence in India. It has to be a heinous (diabolical) murder. IMHO, that is justifiable.

God knows which Google are you using. India is a galloping horse when it comes to GDP growth. I get this: GDP Growth Rates of Major Global Economies (2026) Country / RegionNominal GDP (Trillions USD)Annual GDP Growth (%) India$4.15 – $4.067.0% – 7.8% China$20.854.3% – 4.5% United...

The term 'shilling' is hardly ever used in India. The common term for low-value currency in India is the now-abandoned 'paisa'. Actual lowest currency is a 'Rupiya' (Rupee).

Wish Indian lawyers get that kind of money. My grandson is a law intern. He gets US 300/month as stipend. :)

What is true for USA or an European country is not necessarily true for India. We have a saying "Laat se to bhoot bhi bhaagate hain" (Even ghosts are afraid of a kick in the buttocks)."

What I see is that the civilized society in constantly engaged in wars. The more civilized it is, the more war-like and oppressive it is for other people. Why was it reinstated? Death penalty in India is not based on anything other than the severity of the crime. How is it more expensive? It...

War is an act of civilized society? Why satisfaction? Because it prevents, deters, criminals. It should be strong otherwise it will have no effect. Morality, as I have always said, is subjective. Our views differ on morality.

I have nothing to do with the currency of a small European island growing at the rate of 1.5% where as India's growth is around 6.8% in 2026. They have a foreign exchange reserve of 189 billion USD where as India has 735 billion USD (Wikipedia). I am proud of Indian Judiciary. They are honest...

I accept that Brutalization is a problem and that is why death was not kept as the sole punishment for rapists in India, though politicians and public both wanted it that way.

If corruption is the norm in India, then the judges also are Indians. They know the situation and will find the inconsistencies in the case as presented by the police. This many a times leads to collapse of the case and the criminals are freed. But the reverse is not true. It will be near...

Why would I use shillings? I have tried to explain in my posts as to how many judges may be involved in a death sentence and what all options a convict has. If the convict still fails to prove his innocence, not even able to create a doubt in the mind of judges, then why should we not take it...

Who else can make the laws in a democracy, other than the representatives of the people? Whether they are according to the Constitution is checked by the Supreme Court. If they pass that test, then they are good and moral. For that reason, if there is a provision of punishment for death under...

At no stage, government is involved in selection of judges and their transfers from one court to another. Government can ask for a reconsideration of a particular candidate, but if the Collegium persists with its choice, then government has to accept it. Do not think that our judges are not...
