"The UPA government has been a complete failure in this respect. It has not only been unsuccessful in curbing price rise but also has cut a sorry figure in bringing about useful economic reforms.

"Things were not this bad under the National Democratic Alliance. Poor people's misery never reached this level during Bharatiya Janata Party-led government. Prices of essential commodities, as it stands now, are totally out of our reach.

"I have a feeling that the government wants to eradicate the poor from India. It wants them to die of starvation."

Read the whole series, it is enlightening.

We are guessing the water carriers of social justice and the poverty pornographers are not gonna be amused.

I saw poor people
I felt sad
I wrote about poor people
Now gimme a prize
gimme gimme

 Hang the man, spare the boy
So, the Indian courts have handed down the death sentence to captured militant Ajmal Amir Kasab. Predictably, the socialists want him pardoned and given the life sentence instead. This is what socialists do, in these matters they are more predictable than Bollywood melodramas. Actually they do these things more for the shock value and future award potential rather than any kind of ideological conviction. They think they are pissing off Hindoos.

Actually, they would be wrong, as a matter of fact they would also be pretty late to the party. We said the same thing more than a year ago.

Among the more idiotic concepts posited by socialists is that since suicide attackers want death, pardoning them would deter future attacks. Let's see how this might play out: not awarding the death penalty to suicide attackers would prevent future attacks because suicide attackers will be afraid that they might live! As you can see, this is not really a symmetric situation.

If you have not figured out the illogic in this, let's spell this out further: the objective of a suicide attacker is not just his own death. That is to say, the definition of a suicide attacker is not a person who simply covets death. If that were the case, they would all just commit mass suicides like the Jonestown cult or something and we would all be happy. A suicide attacker is one who wants to inflict death and injury upon those he considers his enemies (us, in this case) - and in the process he does not care whether he lives or dies.

To summarize, one could argue awarding death to Kasab might not act as a strong deterrent to future foot soldiers of G-Had, and we would agree. But to say that not awarding him a death sentence will act as some sort of a deterrent is juvenile.

As we laid it out in the previous post, the socialists should have thought this through before demanding a civilian trial in the first place. At the time they were basking in the reflected glory of the newly anointed Messiah and started a chorus of how Kasab should get a just trial and not merely thrown to the hounds by a blood thirsty crowd (of Hindoos).

Since the concept of equality so completely eludes socialists, we have to spell this one out too. Once a case reaches the civilian courts, it is out of their hands. Then it will just work its way through the legal machinery. Then the only question to ask is whether another person, say Ram Sharma, would also get the death penalty for spraying bullets on innocent commuters at a train station. If the answer is yes, then Kasab should get the death penalty too and he did. The socialists don't usually get this, since they live in a world of politburos and so on. They think they can change the rules on a case by case basis, merely upon whim. That's why they like China. It does not work that way in a constitutional democracy. They can't demand a sentence dilution just because they like Kasab.

At this point, the best option for socialists is to make Kasab a Muslim folk hero like they did with Afzal. Once that happens he will join the mercy petition queue behind Afzal and live happily ever after. Heck, he might even score a date with a Bollywood starlet.

Coming to what we think is going to happen, we believe Kasab will not become a folk hero, Congress will make sure he does not. They will hang him just before the next general elections trying to score cheap points. They will try to prevent Kasab from submitting a mercy petition at the legal level and in any case obscure the issue. Because if he does, he will have to jump the queue to pass Afzal and in the process make Chidu a bald faced liar. But then again, we already know he is one.
