India: Human Sacrifices To Kali Revived

When I once posted the statement ...

In more recent times the worshippers of the Hindu Goddess Kali in India, known as ‘Thuggee’s’ were known to kill humans for religion, and used a ritualistic method of strangling (that also kept the noise down), wherever possible. They were wiped out in the 19th century.

In reality Thuggee groups might be Hindu, Sikh or Muslim, but 'Thuggee' is particularly associated with followers of the Hindu Goddess Kali (or Durga), whom they often called Bhavani."

I never thought that I would ever have to say that 'human sacrifices to Kali' were now occurring again, but we live in ever more regressive times ....

Beheading and Human sacrifice to Gods

Beheading and Human Sacrifice in history: Firstly, when is it human sacrifice and when is it merely a form of punishment? 

 

Beheadings Were Common Across Europe

 

The answer seems to lie in who is relating the story. History is always written by the victors so they say, and that seems to have greatly influenced what we consider human sacrifice or not.
