The severed head and torso of a man has been found in a temple in the Indian state of West Bengal in what the police say is a case of "human sacrifice". The head and the body were found at the local temple to the goddess Kali near Chotomakdampur village in the western district of Birbhum. Police say they have detained a tribal villager for questioning. Human sacrifice is illegal in India. But a few cases do occur in remote and underdeveloped regions. "This man has been sacrificed to propitiate the gods," said local official Kalyan Mukherjee. "This is a shame for Bengal where the ruling Left coalition claim they have eradicated social evils and combated superstition," an opposition leader Samir Kumar Ray said. Though human sacrifice has long been banned in India, some people, mostly the poor and illiterate, fall under the influence of "witch doctors" in the hope of reversing their fortunes. source
People kill people. Sometimes it happens; everywhere. India DOES have areas that are barbaric; but what are you gonna do? Personally, I'm glad it is rare and I move on. Bigger fish to fry.
I guess these are more akin to lunatics than the religious. Those murderers should be lock up forever. I don't see how the Gods can bless those murderers.
Didn't like the answer? He opened this thread to bash your religion, you do the same thing too. You start threads to bash his religion. His point is same as yours.
I guess you have better understanding about what happened on that temple. Indian culture, Hinduism, goddess Kali? dislike revenge in such style. but anxious to know the reason of why a man scarified?
Yeah though It has long been banned in India to sacrifice human but some people mostly the poor and illiterate in India follow the traditional ceremony and sacrifice them in the hope of reversing their fortunes.
