The Irony Behind "ATHITI DEVO BHAVA"


India has its age old tradition of treating guests as Gods. Britishers as an instance were one of such guests who were given treatment which the Gods here fail to receive. They payed us back heavily for our treatment; whose effect can be seen even today and will be seen in the years to come.

Not only the British or the Mughuls the tradition has succeeded to be in effect till date and I feel sorry to write that the so called GODly treatment has been extended to terrorists these days. Ajmal Kasab one of those deadly terrorists who killed people as if they were mosquitoes in his bedroom disturbing his peaceful sleep is the one such guest who has received the treatment.

The modest nation of ours has appointed a lawyer to fight his case. I stilll wonder what cream has been left to make it a so called CASE . People in India suffering from injustice fiind it hard to get a good lawyer who would ethically fight the case for them. But our guest has it all.

Even a fool would say what punishment is to be given to him. I have no idea what the court has been doing since the last 17 months.

In the Arabian nations a person found guilty of a small theft is stoned in the public and later beheaded after all sorts of torture. Forget about punishments for terrorism. That is why I guess we seldom here about any terrorists attacks there. On the other hand in India the country appoints a lawyer to fight the case for the guilty. Its heard that people are even making movies on him. Kasab is now demanding for URDU newspaper, Perfumes and all such luxuries. tommorrow the government may also arrange for his 5 star treatment. Afterall he is our guest.

If this continues tommorrow each and every terrorist would like to make India as his headquaters. Afterall who doesnt want such a life inspite of their cruel background. This tradition is what i guess makes people nowadays say "MERA BHARAT MAHAN".

  1. Yeah! No wonder! Actually I was thinking in the same lines earlier but one good view point is also that 'INDIA being a democratic and republic nation each person is to tried as according to the constition'.There was a need to consider the trial democratically diplomatically politically and also to tell the world that India did not lose its mind and be brutal as others would. It sets India as a example.
    BUT YES! AFTER ALL KASAB HAS DONE - HE SHOULD HAV BEEN DEAD LONG LONG AGO! SHOT IN POLICE CUSTODY OR LEAVE IT TO PUBLIC TO KILL HIM OR SOMETHING! Now obviously India is spendin loads of money on this guy which is a complete waste!
    EVEN IF THERE WAS A TRIAL IT SHOULD HAV BEEN DONE LONG LONG AGO!

    I appreciate your idea of setting examples. But I feel these examples as you qouted "India did not lose its mind and be brutal as others would. It sets India as a example." will encourage terrorist outfits across the world. So the only thing which holds them back is brutality. As its in the case of Arab Nations.
    These are my personal opinions. Comments and views are always welcomed and forseen.

  3. I don't know how this exactly works in the system, may be they are still trying to get some classified information of various terrorist organizations by striking different deals. But its insane to keep him alive for such a long period.But this the system made by so called great people,we cant help it.

  5. @ Sanjay :
    Your insight is true. They need to extract inforamtion from captured terroists but providing a lawyer to fight his case is a waste of tax payer's money.

    @ just_think_over_it :
    Very true. "Self Help and Self Realisation" is the key solution to all problems.
