There is only one valid reason why the death sentence might not be administered to Afzal: If it is shown convincingly that he is innocent.

The Spectral Order Of Sacrifice
What sacrificial victims does the nation-state relentlessly seek? What is the symbolic register of sacrifice demanded by a modern nation-state? What sacrifices are demanded by the regime of truth, and what truths must be forsaken by the regime of sacrifice?

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
BADRI RAINA
The Rarest Of The Rare Case?
Remembering that he seemed not to have received the benefit of legal representation through the trial, we should keep in mind that Afzal Guru was neither a chief plotter nor a participant in the actual attack on December 13.

 OPINION
PRASHANT BHUSHAN
Retributive Violence By The State
Capital punishment is no deterrence for those who are prepared to die anyway for a cause. This is in fact likely to create more such militants. One can deal with such people only by trying to address their sense of grievance.

Hang All The Hangings
Why not appoint an eminent persons group to examine in a time-bound manner whether the death penalty should continue to be on our statute book? Why not keep execution of all death penalties in abeyance till then?
