Brutal way of Punishment of the kings - Page 2

but still yar, beheading a person is 1 thing & smashing his head wid a hammer is different, i wonder how any human being can pass such orders ??

in ancient days there were various brutal ways of punishment ..that doesn't mean the kings were bad all the times..but actually values and concepts of punishment were different...and from the point of views of those days brutality and cruelty were normal and quiet expected

U r right.That time the punishments were quite different according to crimes.But again it was different based upon the whims n fancies of the kings.And I agreed all kings were nt bad.And in that era even the citizens too were all aware of the type of punishments they will supposed to get by violating the rules.But for us in today's era its just very cruel.😳

Some Kings considered themselves as the lord and did not value tha lives of people..lyk this vandibhuj King😡

I think nt all kings were so bad.😳This king somewhat worst than others it seems.😳

I agree it depended on the king, in this case that might be the difference between this king, Dhananand and Chadragupta😳
