Five women are beaten to death in rural India by villagers who accused them of being WITCHES after illness and a poor harvest blighted the area

Five women have been beaten to death by dozens of villagers in India who accused them of practicing witchcraft and blamed them for a series of misfortunes in the area.
Residents of Kinjia village, around 40km (25 miles) from Jharkhand state capital Ranchi, dragged the women out of their homes and attacked them with sticks and iron rods on Saturday, said Arun Kumar Singh, a deputy inspector-general of police in Ranchi.

Backward people are cute in an homicidal type of way.
I guess they didn't even get to be tried by drowning.

Has anyone stopped for a second to consider that they may have been right?

Those looked like witch feet to me.

Anyway, there's so many people in that fucking country nobody will miss these five.

Backwards attitudes, myths and cultural practices are ageless it seems.

They were beaten because they weren't sick and had food

What the hell century is India existing in?

[kellyhound]

uneducated and spoonfed superstition and you get this.

The classical period of witchhunts in Europe and North America falls into the Early Modern period or about 1450 to 1750, spanning the upheavals of the Reformation and the Thirty Years' War, resulting in an estimated 35,000 to 100,000 executions.

The last executions of people convicted as witches in Europe took place in the 18th century. In the Kingdom of Great Britain, witchcraft ceased to be an act punishable by law with the Witchcraft Act of 1735. In Germany, sorcery remained punishable by law into the late 18th century.

Contemporary witch-hunts have been reported from Sub-Saharan Africa, India and Papua New Guinea. Official legislation against witchcraft is still found in Saudi Arabia and Cameroon.
