Anon ji, Whether you need my good wishes or not, dear, you have them. Lighten up!

As for my near and dear ones, they are most certainly at peace since their shaheedi in 1984.

Chardi kala!

I already have. I don’t need good wishes from you. Save it for your near and dear ones and make sure they are resting in peace.

Killers should be executed and the girl’s parent’s should demand a separate Furutatistan for their family. Since it happened in Japan so the whole country and its every citizen is responsible and the parents of the girl must demand a separate homeland.

Dear J…As satisfying as it might be to torture these monsters for 44 days and – for me personally – to watch Jagdish Tytler doused with kerosene and set alight while his erstwhile victims jeer and laugh at him, I cannot allow myself to indulge in that sort of behavious without becoming something of a monster myself. And then, in another way, the monsters would win.

Death by toture would not discourage these monsters anyway, as this typw of sociopath has a touch of megalomania, as well, and simplly believes he’ll never get caught.

No, just quietly, carefully and thoroughly remove them forever from our society in a quick, peaceful death. Better than they deserve? Probably. But without brutalising ourselves any more than is absolutely necessary.

i agree .. if proven guilty .. they should be killed (better still in exact the same fashion as the victim was killed). this will also help prevent/discourage more such acts ..

Dear Suvro Chatterjee,

I will suggesat to you that this sort of sociopath cannot ever be taught to feel shame. Their conscience seems not to exist. Even in prisonthey will continue to terrorise those around them.

*Takes a deep breath* These people probably cannot help what they have become, any more than a rabid dog can be responsible for being sick. And, like the rabid dog, they represent such a danger to socirty that they should simply be executed, euthanised, killed, not in retribution, but in self-defence. I know this approach is not politically correct and I’ll probably be called nasty names, which is OK.

Amrit, thanks for reading about Junko ji and writing about this. We are both parents. Can you imagine if this were your child? This girl deserves to be remembered. It won’t undo anything; sometimes doing the right thing seems futile. Being people of certain moral standards, we still find it necessary to do SOMETHING.

I am one of those who hate and agonise over torture. And it is always a live issue with me. So thanks for posting this. You might look up a recent article called “Gathering Dark” in my blog, http://suvrobemused.blogspot.com, and another titled “Is all ‘fun’ funny?” in the other blog, http://suvrooncemore.blogspot.com.

As for punishing the perpetrators, there is, I fear, no hope unless the civilised sections of society (NOT to be confused with anybody who claims to be rich, educated and well-connected) organise and rise to protest very strongly, and demand that the laws be suitably amended and applied strictly, without fear or favour, not only to punish the guilty but shame them into changing their ways. I am convinced that much torture happens because the perpetrators are allowed to bask in the feeling that they have done something ‘in’ and ‘cool’ and ‘macho’…
