GOOD MORNING TO YA’LL Introduction Hinduism principle Capital Punishment Death penalty in India Dhananjoy Chatterjee Hinduism and Capital Punishment There is no official line on capital punishment. However, Hinduism opposes killing, violence and revenge, in line with the principle of ahimsa (non- violence) India still retains the death penalty and the reasons for this are likely to be similar to be those suggested in the Buddhist section. The debate on capital punishment in India was revived in 2004 by the case of Dhananjoy Chatterjee who had been sentenced for rape and murder. At present more than 100 people are on death row in India, although the number of executions in that country is actually very low, and the Indian Supreme Court has ruled that the death penalty should only use in the rarest of rare cases. REPORTER: WRITER: Janine Valiente Garces Merca Shean Liban Rowens Chavez Bernalyn Donato Mark Ajay Xian Ladores Valence Jeany Paguia Thank you for your ears and eyes you’ll !
