Mr. Raman has given excellent summary on Delhi Blasts. And in parallel, the debate on abolition of Death Penalty is going the rounds - may be - unwittingly. The time does not seem to be ripe. The reality check speaks otherwise. The terrorist menace in India is amongst the highest - much more than the European countries may be due to international conspiracies of which we have yet to learn facts. Our law is well defined on this count. So is the case of organised crime - be it the mafia, terrorism or for that matter, Naxalism in several parts of the country. Why hurry? Shouldnt we wait for a few decades more as we have been doing so for the real democracy of many other fields dependence on economic reforms, nuclear race et all. Vinod Tuli
