In the past few days, The Indian Express has highlighted the issue of castration, both chemical and physical, for rape convicts, following the Delhi gangrape case. It is felt from the reports that as far as punishment to the accused is concerned, chemical castration serves no purpose as it is a temporary measure. Though several countries have instituted this law, I feel it will not work. It is pleaded that only physical castration and that too at the earliest is the answer as that will teach the rapist a lesson irrespective of him being an adult or a juvenile. The Delhi rape case juvenile accused should not be allowed to go scott free as he is very much part of the crime. Death sentence is the other alternative. But, considering the long legal process, the episode will slip out of people’s minds. It is high time that the legal authorities act fast on one of the most heinous and disgusting crimes. No doubt such crimes are being committed, all over the world, but in India with the tremendous media coverage, the incident became shocking and disgraceful.May the New Year usher more sense in our people and that we as a rising nation should not commit such crimes.

Dear Sir, the castration of the rapist is not appropriate only death penalty is the solution. The castrated person himself will know that he has been operated against the crime he has done. He will hide his blotch. No other person will know that he has been involved in such action and will never learn a lesson. If death penalty is given for such a heinous crime each and everyone will come to know the result of doing such thing. Then within know time such type of cases/crime will drop down drastically.
