My dear friend I feel that the media is not anti hindu or anti muslim or anti christian or .....
Its a big business..... and media is a BUSINESS VENTURE.... If you can profit them they are yours.... they have no ethics or morals.
Infact thanks to all this media we INDIANS have lost our IDENTITY.
Just think wearing a skimpy skirt / top is fab.... wearing a traditional saree is not.
Speaking is US slang is fab.... but not OUR NATIONAL LANGUAGE.
THANK YOU MEDIA..... YOU ARE A SLAVE TO MONEY AND YOU HAVE MADE MY COUNTRY A SLAVE TO WEST
After this sentence, i just wonder what's the actual meaning of law of land and punishment. Law is made to act as a deterent and punishment is like repenting on one deeds. In dutts case i feel like there is a oppotunity lost, as today he is changed and also not a threat to the society as such. But taking into account that one has to pay for his deeds, there can be an alternate punishment. He could be given a punishment toget committed to the socitey. He should be given a task like to raise a big amount of the tune of 30-50 crore in a fixed period of time and use that amount in changing the lifes of the poor or down trodden. Like making houses, schools and hospitals. GIven dutts statoury this could have been done. I respect the law of the land but remember this is the land of valmiki as well. Now putting dutt in jail is not benefitting anyone. but keeping him out and using him for a good cause would have benefitted many more.

I love Sanju on Screen.But that does not mean I can put him above any ordianry citizen of India. He is no different. If our judicial system will have such provision of customized punishments, do you think Sanju could have changed. Anyone who committs the crime must be punished. Think about the official toll of 295 people killed in 93 blasts. Do you really think that he did not aobut this blast conspiracy beforehand. He is friends with bloody Terrorists like Dawood. He should have been hung. I really admire those people who really worked hard to put Sanju behind bars.

Kumar, it is very easy to talk from cozy comfort and safety of house/office. If you have ever seen mobs running amok, you will quickly see why you would need a big deterant. I saw it during Delhi riots and man you just feel a tiny helpless person.

Well I was going through all the posts / messages... found some Pro... some Anti.... But somehow in each of them I could feel a bais. Why ?????
Please think...
1 ) How is the Muslim angle involved in this perticular judgement ?
2 ) Do any terrorist have a religion ? Their activities hurt everyone ? Why do we always forget that ?
3 ) For 12 long years Sanjay has suffured by having the TADA charge upon them, where as initially itself after police investigations they should have been booked under arms act.
4 ) Was it only Sanjay Dutt who used to attend parties hosted by gangsters ? If my memory serves me right every film star used to be there in those days.
5 ) Last but not the least laws are made to decipline people and punishments to reform and deter, but not to destroy life. I would have appriciated if a community service judgement would have been delivered. Its a know fact that jails are breeding ground for criminals.
I wish my countrymen start thinking in terms that WE are INDIANS ONLY..... Not MUSLIMS.... Not HINDUS.... Not CHRISTIANS.... We are INDIANS first.... Religion is a personal choice, There are criminals in every religion but do they have a religion ? Do they follow GOD ?

My Dear friend a law is made to reform and deter people from crime.... but when most of the Indian laws were written we were still slaves to the British... The Laws were made to rule us... to terroirize us.... to enslave us...
The day we got our freedom we should have discarded those law books and made something that was people friendly.... But our great forefathers who were educated in Britain... Who were impressed by it.... Who followed its culture, just accepted all the Law books that were written to ENSALVE INDIANS....
Our forefathers failed.... My dear friend and we are paying a price for it...

I do agree with you that a good person is behind the bars. If at all he was to be put behind bars, it would have been in 94 if not 93. After such a long time, he is a different person altogther.
And worse is the case ran so long and most of the accused who were given punishment were allowed to go around free for 15 odd years and commit more such crimes.
Hope to have justice done more quickly if not in days, then atleast in months but not in 15 years.

There have been cases where murderers and criminals have been caught and punished after decades. You can not commit a crime and wait for case to go for ever and then say, I was bad 13 years ago, I am a nice person now.
Sanjay Dutt has commited a crime and he deserves punishment. What shocks me the most is that, Sanjay was involved in some shape or form in the blasts that killed some many people. How can he be involved in the such an act.
He should in Jail for ever, till he breaths his last. No leneancy because he is an actor.

i dont agree with you at all, if a person you have committed a crime in past and changed(mark my words, the crime is not that intense) and can now be used to change the lives of n number of people then y not make that compulsory to do that. We live in a country where there are so many people who needs upliftment. I think it we all should change are way of thinking and think in terms of other people as well.

How do we know that he or anyone for that matter changed without a reasonable doubt? Sanju got 6yrs due to the nature of the crime he commited. Punishment totally depends on the kind of crime you do. Thats the job of law to make sure every criminal gets some sort of punishment. Just because he played nice roles doesn't make him a changed person per say. I'm sure many of us feel sorry for him after seeing him play better roles.

It will be very helpfull if the media gives account of days spent in the jail by all convicts, why only of sanjay dutt. People will be enlightened of the life of a convict.

Mr. Kamal, spare sanju baba is absolutely a wrong statement. He needs no justice, except capital punishment along with the other 99 offenders!

Dear Navin: I am surprised at your strong sentiments.... Yes even I feel all the trouble makers in this country should be hanged, but then from day one i always felt Sanjay Dutt did something very stupid and very filmi... Everyone does mistakes..... You can kill people with guns.... at the same time you can kill people with drunk driving.... with driving without a licence..... by negligence.... We needed to probe his intensions..... If it was to create terror... Yes he should be hanged.... Was it to commit any crime.... if Yes he should be hanged..... What he did was plain dumb and stupid.... but did he actually harm anyone.... or did he try to use the weapons accquired... NO... Thats the only reason I feel that he should have been punished in a more constructive way.... something to do with betterment of society.... sort of a community service.... or something more meaningful....
And please remember that I too am as Indian as you are.... I too am concerned about whats happening around us.... worried too, because I follow the Universal religion that is humanity and my faith is the universal faith that is love... I only feel that everyone deserves a second chance as long as he has not done a mistake that has adversely affected the human race.
Sanjay Dutt was my favouriate actor. But I bow before this verdict. He is a celebrity with high status and hold. Through this verdict once again it is proved that no man is above the law. Now I feel proud about my India and the Judge who judged our feelings. This will be a lesson for those who are growing up. I dont believe Sanjay is a terrorist; he may have justified it but each and everyone will have someone who is against us. I all will do as he did then what is the need of Police, Judiciary and Defence.
