Downloads
Abstract
“The ‘gallows’ are not only a symbol of death, but also a symbol of cruelty, terror and irreverence for life; the common denominator of primitive savagery, medical fanaticism and modern totalitarianism.” - Arthur Koestler
The Hungarian-British author in his reflections on Hanging had condemned the whole process of Hanging stating how the judges give their verdicts. The various methods of execution are electrocution, lethal gas, lethal injections, hanging and shooting. In India, Section 354(5) of Criminal Procedure Code, 1973 states, “When any person is sentenced to death, the sentence shall direct that he be hanged by the neck till he is dead.” signifying that death by hanging is practiced in our nation.
