Explanation:
in india Belief in the supernatural is strong in certain parts of India, and lynchings for witchcraft are reported in the press from time to time.[5][6] According to the Indian National Crime Records Bureau, at least 2100 suspected witches (known as dayan)[7] were murdered between 2000 and 2012.[8] It is believed that an average of over 150 women per year are killed accused of being witches, concentrated across central India.[7] Murder is commonly carried out by means of being burned, hacked or bludgeoned to death, often preceded by ritual humiliation, such as being stripped naked, smeared with filth and forced to eat excrement.[7] For those accused of witchcraft who are not murdered, nearly all suffer permanent ostracism or banishment and their families face social stigma.[7]
