The book critically examines capital punishment in India, questioning its morality and effectiveness as a deterrent for crime. Gopalkrishna Gandhi argues that the death penalty is not only cruel and inhuman but also disproportionately applied in a society marked by inequality. He challenges the notion that it serves as a deterrent, ultimately advocating for its abolition based on ethical considerations and social justice.
