About Kasab: Kasab, a Pakistani terrorist, exited this world as stealthily as he had entered Mumbai, India four years ago. He was hanged to death at 7:30am on Wednesday 21 November 2012. Asked for his last wish, he said: "Gharwalon ko milna hai (I want to see my family members)" And his last words were:"Allah kasam maaf karna. Aisi galti dobara nahi hogi (Forgive me God. This mistake will not be repeated ever again.)" The Indian president rejected his mercy plea.
Just one night before, he was cool and singing songs. Next morning, he woke up, read Quran, and then he was declared medically fit to be hanged, by the doctors. He was nervous . This operation was a top secret. No one knew about it until its completion. Until he was dead. Not even the Prime Minister.

I am a Hindu-Indian girl. In India, Hindus are not very fond of Muslims. And I should mention, Kasab was a Pakistani Muslim. Everybody knows about the rivalries of Pakistan and India. I don’t hate Muslims. But I do believe that some of them are way more violent than Hindus. No, I’m not a racist, but what’s true is true. I have many Muslim friends and I love them. They’re all friendly and non-violent.

The reason I am writing this article is to defend Kasab. Sure, he was a sinner, he took lives and destroyed families. He did a mistake. Or many mistakes. But at the end of the day, he’s just a human. I think he should have been given one more chance by us. By the Indians. I am not going against the Government . Because I can’t. I respect it, because I have to. You know, India is the largest democracy in the world. Sounds cool, right? But no one has actually seen its dark side. Its just so-called Freedom Of Expression. If I write my thoughts on ‘’What’s On Your Mind?” on facebook, I might get arrested.

So the thing is, a human doesn’t get to choose a human’s fate. No human can decide who should die or who should not. We are all humans, we all have souls. And our souls are pure. They’re not ‘stained’ or anything. They’re just pure. I believe in God. I don’t believe in Rama, Krishna, Lakshmi or Jesus or Allah. I just believe in God. I think he exists. I think he is The Higher Power. I think he is the one to decide our fate, our luck, our death or our life. Just Him. No one else. And definitely not us. I know that Ajamal Kasab was not right but I do call him a hero. People say that he was a ‘terrorist’ mainly because he attacked Taj and because he was a Pakistani. But India, herself killed about 1 million innocent Muslims during the Partition. Who’s the real ‘terrorist’ now? So yes, he was a real hero.

In his last words Kasab said that he would never repeat that mistake again. He wasn’t trying to save himself from Death or anything. He was just apologizing. To God. He knew he couldn’t escape Death. No one can. No one lies about themselves when they’re sure they’re about to die. And he didn’t die, but we killed him. I say, we shouldn’t have killed him. We, Indians should not have killed Kasab, a Pakistani. Because all he needed was a chance. A fair chance to prove himself that he could improve. Of course, it was very dangerous to free him. Because we didn’t know what he would have done if we had freed him. And I don’t say that, either. I just say that everybody should get a chance. For it’s the Higher Power who gets to decide our fate, our luck, our death or our life.
