After Abu Jundal was arrested, Kasab's time was up. So, you can see why it took 4 years. Next major development.Nothing to be proud of or to celeberate. It took us 4 years.

By the way, others were and they fought till death.
This guy was more of a hired gun than wish driven activist.
He practically laid his guns down rather fighting till the end like others did
After the attacks, India asserted that Kasab is a Pakistani national based on his confession and other evidences gathered from him. Several reporters visited Kasab's village and verified the facts provided by him. Former Pakistan Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif confirmed that Kasab was from Faridkot village in Pakistan, and criticised President Zardari for cordoning off the village and not allowing his parents to meet anyone.
Investigative journalist Saeed Shah travelled to Kasab's village and produced national identity card numbers of his parents; soon after they themselves disappeared on the night of 3 December 2008.
Also, the Mumbai Police said that much of the information that Kasab provided had proved to be accurate. He disclosed the location of a fishing trawler, MV Kuber, that the terrorists used to enter Mumbai's coastal waters. He also told investigators where they would find the ship captain's body, a satellite phone and a global-positioning device, which they did.
Despite mounting evidence, Pakistani officials, including President Asif Ali Zardari, initially denied the assertion that Ajmal Kasab was Pakistani. Pakistani government officials attempted to erase evidence that there was a Lashkar-e-Taiba office in Deepalpur. The office was hurriedly closed in the week of 7 December. Moreover, at Faridkot many residents and local plainclothes police appeared to be trying to cover up Kasab's connection with the village. The atmosphere turned hostile, and several reporters who went to Faridkot were intimidated. In early December, dealing a major blow to Pakistan's claims, Kasab's father admitted in an interview that the captured terrorist was his son.
In January 2009, Pakistan's national security advisor Mahmud Ali Durrani admitted to Kasab being a Pakistani citizen while speaking to the CNN-IBN news channel. The Pakistan Government then hastily acknowledged that Ajmal Kasab was a Pakistani, but also announced that Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani had fired Durrani for "failing to take Gilani and other stakeholders into confidence" before making this information public, and for "a lack of coordination on matters of national security."

No one deserves to die that way.
seriously?
actually yes he should have been shot dead instead of being hanged... Imo we can give mercy to a murderer because he had some personal motive,revenge, but here he just came and shot & took innocent lives just to spread terror.. that is bullshit.. he should have been shot IMHO.
Shooting to death would even more glorify him as a "martyr" among the Islamists and create even more Kasabs. In fact I can say with conviction that some Islamist terrorist leader would be giving example of his "martyrdom" and urging his followers to perform similar acts while we are discussing his execution.
An eye for an eye or rather an eye for thousands of eyes? Aren't we too civilised for that kind of barbaric crap?
This is not to say I feel sympathy for him, but IMO spending your whole life in jail is a punishment good enough.
After all, the only thing you get from death penalty is death itself. It might bring peace to the families of those lost in that incident, but will it stop a clash in the future? I don't think so.
actually Jail is not such a bad place compared to poverty, hunger, suffering outside. you get decent food, medical assistance, library, place to worship etcAn eye for an eye or rather an eye for thousands of eyes? Aren't we too civilised for that kind of barbaric crap?

Keeping in jail has a problem. In December 1999, if I remember correctly, an aeroplane(Flight IC814) travelling from Nepal to New Delhi was hijacked and taken to Afghanistan. They had demand of releasing a terrorist who was in jail in Kashmir, and was later involved in parliament attacks. [Wiki]
Keeping him alive could have resulted in such acts too.
In August 2005, India revealed its new anti-hijacking policy. The policy came into force after the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) approved it. The main points of the policy are:
*Any attempt to hijack will be considered an act of aggression against the country and will prompt a response fit for an aggressor.
*Hijackers, if captured, will be sentenced to death.
*Hijackers will be engaged in negotiations only to bring the incident to an end, to comfort passengers and to prevent loss of lives.
*The plane will be shot down if it is deemed to become a missile heading for strategic targets.
*The plane will be escorted by armed fighter aircraft and will be forced to land.
*A grounded plane will not be allowed to take off under any circumstance.
The list of strategic targets is prepared by the Bureau of Civil Aviation in India. The decision to shoot down a plane is taken by CCS. However, due to the shortage of time, whoever – the prime minister, the defense minister or the home minister – can be reached first will take the call. In situations in which an aircraft becomes a threat while taking off – which gives very little reaction time – a decision on shooting it down may be taken by an Indian Air Force officer not below the rank of Assistant Chief of Air Staff (Operations).

Although , I feel he should have died of dengue instead . A painful death.
