Sensex on another high

The BSE ‘Sensex’, finally reached to the much awaited peak for the last few weeks, it crossed the 13,000 mark. As the index went up 117 points to close at 13024 a wave of happiness spread among at the Dalal Street and the Investors and Traders worldwide leaped up with joy.

There has been a debate over whether the Share index is a real reflection of the country’s progress and whether it represents the commonest of the common. However, without doubt this is a remarkable achievement as far as the Indian Share Markets are concerned.

Finally the justice for Priyadarshini Mattoo

The Delhi High Court today gave Death Sentence to Santosh Singh who allegedly raped and killed 23 years old law student Priyadarshini Mattoo.
The justice came after 11 years, but It Came, finally, giving at least some relief to the Matto Family and a ray of hope to the families of victims in two other high-profile cases- Jessica Lal and Nitish Katara Murder Cases.

The Judges, while reading the Statement, observed the circumstance as rarest of the rare. However this has triggered the age long discussion over Death Penalty for Rapists again. Singh, a son of an IPS officer and a lawyer by himself brutally killed the victim. In my opinion, he deserves the biggest punishment.

However, I believe that killing a criminal is not the Answer. There is only one solution, which is a rather hard to implement, kill the criminal mentality and not the criminal. To develop a society with lesser no of crimes we need to work very hard. Till then, there appears to be only one punishment for a crime as wild as this one.
