First woman in India to get death penalty

 For the first time in independent India, a woman will undergo capital punishment. This woman convict will be at the only gallows at Mathura jail.






What was her crime?

Thirteen years ago, In Uttarpradesh, Amroha district, a schoolteacher's only daughter Shabnam Ali went on a killing spree with her boyfriend. Shabnam was 25 at the time, and killed seven of her family members, including her parents and a 10-month-old nephew. Shabnam's mercy petition was rejected by the supreme court and now the president of India has also rejected her mercy plea. The proceedings to execute Shabnam have already started at Mathura.




How Shabnam committed the murders?

Shabnam's love for Saleem drove her to drug her family members with sleeping pills. So, that she could visit him secretly on that fateful night she drugged the family, and when they were all unconscious she killed them one by one. After the murder, Saleem fled but Shabnam stayed in. The next she raised a hue and cry claiming unknown criminals broke and killed her family, after four days of investigation it became evident to the police that the murders were committed by Shabnam and Saleem. 

In Mathura prison, there are gallows constructed especially for women. But since India's independence, no woman convict has been awarded capital punishment until Shabnam.

According to the jail superintendent, the wait is now to set a date for execution and issue a death warrant. Once that is done Shabnam will be hanged.



 Shabnam will be hanged by Pawan, a hangman who has already visited the gallows twice. Pawan has also executed the punishment of four convicts in the NIRBHAYA case.

Principles of Shivaji Maharaj

  In this blog post, we will focus on the principles that made Shivaji Maharaj an inevitable, gracious, valorous emperor of Maratha. Shivaji is famous for his prowess in warfare techniques and Arthashastra. There are many articles in the pool that tell us about his biography, leadership qualities. But not the principles he followed. Which made me write about such a prominent ruler. As we know, Shivaji's father, Shahaji Bhosle, used to spend most of his time in the tristate as a general. So, Shivaji spent his childhood with his mom and Dadoji Konddeo. They taught Shivaji moral values and martial arts. With no further delay with the history you previously acknowledged. Let's drift through the principles. Mentality Mighty Maratha Shivaji the great was just a teenager when he started swaraj yatra. Shivaji was always an outdoorsman. During his excursion through the countryside, he saw many skilled men who worked for the sultanate. Shivaji advanced towards them. With curiosity, S...

Hitler- An opportunist

  Adolf Hitler, How did he harmonize one of the largest genocide in human history? How did he rise to power in a democratic country? The story of post world war 1 made Germany realize that the war was unwinnable. As the war is unwinnable, Germany thought allying makes them winnable. So, Germany signed a truce ending the fight. As the government collapsed, the entire nation started encountering civil unrest and worker strikes. Soon diplomats started fearing an uprising of the communist revolutionary party. So, politicians started suppressing the majority and established the parliamentary Weimar republic. The first task of the parliament to implement the peace treaty imposed by its allies. In addition to a peace treaty, Germany also signed to dismantle its army. And Germany had to take full responsibility for the war and pay for the destruction.
