'Kasab was intelligent, had picked up Marathi during trial'
If he was intelligent then why would the government of India have to Murder him? Is it to prove how great a country we are or we lack the will treat a convict with more compassion??!! The Buddhist tradition: "Compassion is that which makes the heart of the good move at the pain of others. It crushes and destroys the pain of others. Thus, it is called compassion. It is called compassion because it shelters and embraces the distressed"~~Dp.A.193. Are most of our politicians and citizens Savage and Barbaric?
Pakistani terrorist Ajmal Kasab, who was hanged today, had during the
26/11 trial surprised the Judge, policemen and court officers with his
humour and grasping power so much so that he picked up Marathi and even
conversed in it with everyone around him.
His quick grasp of local language Marathi in the court had caught the attention of all those present during the 26/11 trial in the specially made court at Arthur Road prison.
"Nahin, Nahin, Taap Nahin (No, No, I don't have fever)," he had once said in Marathi in the court three years ago when the staff enquired from him whether he was unwell.
Ever since the trial began in May 2009, Kasab, a fourth standard dropout of an Urdu medium school, had been keenly observing the proceedings and picked up bits of English and even Marathi as witnesses, lawyers and the judge spoke in those languages although the evidence was recorded in English. "Tumhi Nighun Ja (You may leave)," were the first words in Marathi which Kasab learnt as Special Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam would utter these to him after the court proceedings.

Kasab was a fan of Bollywood singer Mukesh Chand Mathur : Lawyer
Pakistani
gunman, Ajmal Kasab, who was hanged on Wednesday, was a fan of
legendary playback singer late Mukesh and used to sing his favourite
tunes during legal interviews, his lawyer Amin Solkar said today."'Hum chod chale is mehfil ko, yaad aaye to kabhie mat rona' (I am leaving this world, if you remember me please do not cry) rendered by Pakistani terrorist Ajmal Kasab in jail keeps ringing in my ears," Solkar said.
"Kasab often used to render this song whenever we met for legal conference and interview at Arthur Road jail here," said Solkar on hearing about Kasab's execution at Pune's Yerwada prison here.
