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.

french colonies present day

France borders eight countries. But actually, it borders more than eight countries. And in fact, its longest border isn't even the one with Belgium or the one with Spain. It is the one with Brazil. What is going on here? We know only one version of France that is the l'hexagon. It is also called the La France Metropole. It is the mainland of France. It is the France you probably think of when you think of France in Europe. But there is another France, it is called France d'outre-mer, or the Overseas France. Overseas French accounts for almost 20% of all French land. And a whopping 97% of its ocean territory, nearly 3 million French citizens live here. The Overseas France is peculiar. France d’outre-mer includes far-flung tropical islands, remote archipelagos with penguins, and weird-looking, uninhabited atolls around the world. There is lobster fishing, scientific research, nuclear weapons testing, and military exercises. And the mind-blowing fact is that Overseas France is...

BUTTERFLY EFFECT- HOW SMALL CHANGES DRIVES US TO AN IMMENSE CHANGE?

Have you heard of a term called the butterfly effect? Whenever you solve a math problem, a minor change in substitution might result in a greater error. The same happens in the big picture. It is believed that when a butterfly flutters its wing in Australia, It might create a hurricane in Texas. This beautiful term "Butterfly Effect" was coined by Edward Lorenz. But what if I say that if there isn't the occurrence of WW1, India still would under the British Raj. Which means we might not even be born. Likewise, relate each story which I am going to demonstrate below. From world war 1, to the creation of anime, every single change in our lives in some way is the other related to our huge success.  MISINTERPRETATION OF ROUTE LED TO WW1  The great leader from Austria(Archduke Ferdinand carl Ludwig joseph maria) was transiting in a car with his wife, in front of which there were four cars, furious Hungarians came to attack those cars.

Never dare to open these 7 doors!!!

Sheri Hooley on Unsplash Doors are meant to be opened. Well! not these doors. They are thought to contain anything from treasures to mummified remains and ancient curses. Some of the most visited places in the world have secret rooms and chambers sealed off by mysterious doorways. People won't talk about what is inside them. And once sealed they have remained closed but what exactly they are protecting us from. In Kerala, India, there is a grand structure known as Padmanabhaswamy temple. It was created in the 6th century and built upon until the 16 century by the kings of the Travancore royal family. The most valuable part of this ornate building is its 6 sealed underground vaults. But one of them remains unknown to this day. The vault sits behind ornately designed solid doors. Five of these doors were able to be pried open and inside they found 22 billion dollars worth of treasure including jewellery and solid gold idols. Vault B also called Bharata Conchal era is the only vault ...
