Kasab, Our opportunity

On 31st March the Mumbai special court announced that Ajmal Kasab’s trial was over and the verdict shall be delivered on 3rd May 2010.

Now, let us assume that the court indicts him with the harshest punishment possible under the Indian sun, ie. The death sentence . What ensues further is some sad day again, another similar incident as the 26/11 happens and so it shall happen again and again and so on. Killing a soldier or winning a battle will not end the war as long as the ideology behind it is affected. The ideology of hatred, which motivates these fundamentalists to commit such inhumane acts, has either to be converted or to be uprooted/eliminated. And an ideology of hatred can only be won over with love or defeated by fear.

A death sentence for Kasab shall only be a vindication for all those many present and to-be religious fanatics who are promised the Heavens and eternal glory in afterlife by waging war against infidels. Kasab’s death sentence shall be welcomed with open arms by all the fundamental mullahs in terrorist training camps and hence shall be proudly claimed to be an example to be followed by all those young brainwashed minds desiring eternal glory and heavens in afterlife.
The Indian Govt can well make use of the living Kasab, who is presently their revered hero, to either win over or defeat the ideology of hatred of Islamic terrorism. This can be done in the following 2 ways:

a) The more peaceful, mature and difficult way is to rehabilitate Kasab. The hatred in his mind for the Indian state has to be dissolved and overcome not by force but by patience and love and to be converted into compassion, for the Indian state, its values, its respect for all human life and its umpteen opportunities for the sincere. He has to be shown and made realize, and not just told, how we respect and love people for what they are irrespective of their religion. He has to be shown how in our country, live more people of his own religion with peace and dignity than in his own. He is to be told how muslims like Abdul Kalam, Azim Premji, Zakir Hussain, Shah Rukh Khan, Zaheer Khan, Javed Akhtar, A R Rehman, Sania Mirza and many more have prospered to extreme zeniths of success in their respective fields in a secular India, and how we all love them for what they do instead of fretting about the language of their religious hymn.

He is to be given opportunities by the state to rehabilitate, nurture his useful talents and find opportunities to work, earn, fall in love, marry and settle. Yes I know how absurd it sounds but.. if achieved successfully, it’ll be a boot in the face of all those mullahs on the other side of the border preaching hatred and faking promises of eternal glory after death by killing innocents. Also, he’ll be a role model for all those brainwashed fanatics trying to cross the border to blow themselves into pieces, a rehabilitated Kasab will stand exemplary of the true Indian values, it’ll showcase India as the beautiful, tolerant and inviting El dorado of opportunities they would wish to settle in and if needed fight for instead of fighting against. A happy Kasab will be the Indian ambassador for inhouse and infiltrated muslim fanatics. Such a Kasab shall himself unveil the veilers and speak of the glory and magnanimity of the Indian state to the very same who were and are being trained to hate it.
I repeat, Kasab, their hero, alive, is our opportunity. This opportunity to win this ideology of hatred with love and compassion shall never knock our doors so loudly and brazenly.
Conceded, it requires extreme cooperation from Kasab, and as has been seen throughout his trial, he wishes to live, in case he does not I do have an alternative offering.


b) This idea is simple, we instigate such extreme fear in the minds of the fanatics that no matter what the mullah promises in the afterlife the very thought of an attack on Indian soil makes the fanatic shit in his pants. We don’t kill Kasab, we put him in a small isolation box, obviously with a camera, we soundproof the room, pipe in white noise, turn off the lights, put dark goggles, rubber eardrums, attach cardboard tubing on his hands and arms, and we do it for weeks. We can also, not let him sleep, keep him naked, put rats, cockroaches and lizards in his cell, serve him dead animals at random intervals, throw cold water on him, change the temperature, electroshock the genitals and so on.

With time, we can also give him small doses of the drug Curare to induce paralysis and all the absurd cocktails of drugs we’re yet to test. Left in isolation cell for months, taken out only to have his senses bombarded with barking dogs, strobe lights and endless tape loops of babies crying, music blaring and cats meowing and all the worse our fears can imagine. It’ll be an experiment that’ll put the CIA with all its Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib to shame. We just don’t let the animal die. What this’ll do is it’ll destroy his previous self image, along with his fundamental sense of space of time. What we’ll eventually have is a physically developed creature (named Kasab) who is no more mentally developed than a child.

All this shall be taped and the tapes distributed publicly. The tapes shall show various stages of his degradation; from that of extreme pain and suffering to that of seemingly unending gloom to that of a final lack of everything, the ability to touch, feel, suffer, and even rejoice in any afterlife heaven. The to-be fanatics shall see the same physically sound, militarily trained Kasab, as if born for the Kalashnikovs, the celebrated hero of the past, crawled, cramped and folded in himself like a child in womb, and truly no more than it. The Indian state, through this shall have conveyed its message aptly, if we catch a terrorist alive this is how we treat it. The fear instilled through this, shall force a large number of maniacs to think twice before being lured into waging war against India and shall slowly overcome the ideology of hate.

I repeat again, Kasab, their hero, alive, is our opportunity. Our opportunity, to end the ideology of Muslim terrorism for ever.

I hope the present govt. of India does not comprehensively fail this time.
