Justice is not about revenge
by True Indian on Mar 24, 2008 08:40 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Justice is not about revenge. Eye for an eye and a like for a life. We are not in Saudi arabia and thank God for it.

Shram committed a serious crime. But it was out of desperation. Remember Shivani was sleeping with him and pregnant with his baby. She was not an innocent baby. Doent mean that she should have been killed or that she deserved to die but this is not one of those rarest of rare cases deserving death penalty

In saudi, justice is not given against the sheiks. It is reserved for Dravid's like True Indians and also to Aryans who took on Dravid religion ie. Hinduism.

Justice is not about revenge, it is about paying your dues to the society in which you committed the crime. If you commit a crime, you must pay and that payment depends upon the gravity of the crime. That is the way civilized society works. You may disagree whether he should be given a death penalty or not. In my opinion, if you take someone's life, you do not deserve to have yours.

I agree.This was truly a case of a LIFE FOR A LIFE.Shivani may not have been an innocent babe...does that make Sharma one?He was a govt.servant in a responsible position,married(supposedly happily)with two kids.India is not Saudi A ,but sometimes the justice system really needs to take a wake up call and punish the guilty rightfully.
