I may be..To,Prabha

[Guest guest]

......a PURE NON-VEGGIE,food eater..,Prabha..,but that does not mean...I have the

nerves, to watch a public beheading..just for records!!.

..

No,I have never seen one..,

It is usually done..after the Friday(Juma) prayers in one of the grand mosque's

courtyard...,to have the maximum fear impact, on the future deviants,future drug

peddlers etc etc.

I just read them,in local newspapers..

..

It is basically awarded..,for Drug peddling,narcotics smuggling,for

murders,..rapes,for accidents under the influence of alcohol etc.

And the sentence of the crime is delivered swiftly within months..and execution

done..

But lately,like since 2 yrs..the numbers executed have drastically come down,due

to whatever reasons.

But swift capital punishment,like in China/Iran for many other reasons..like

embezzlements,looting the state finances..have indeed put a lid of sorts to such

crimes..which is so brazenly done,in India..with no punishment awarded for

yrs..to the guilty/accused
