Whenever a rape or cruel murder is reported,the instant and general consensus amongst us was that the criminals deserved the death penalty. The volume increases if he happened to be a terrorist.
As on date, barely 43 countries hold on to this punishment and the highest number of executions in 2009 took place in China (5000) followed by Iran (402), Iraq (77) and Saudi Arabia (69). Should India fall join these bandwagon or ban capital punishment?
