Hunted or haunted: Women killed for witchcraft in India

[AEidoloclast]

I can't stand this reporter's quizzical tone.

[kneelienews]

This is so sad. Witches have got to be the least understood, most ostracized, shunned and persecuted religious group. The ones that I have met have been nice. I would recommend a idiots guide to Wicca and Witchcraft.

[FinalDestination00]

It basically seems like people use the witch card to justify their own inhumane acts against innocent people. Who's the real witches here?

[SuperUncleruckus]

India is so damn diverse aha even got witches

[Rohit84up]

@SuperUncleruckus i'm suprised this story has made it outside of india. Normally local goverments and media kinda cover up such incidents. Its very common all over india and obviously no one ever get to know about the sad, disturbing and embarrassing status women have in india. India is a land of constant contradictions. One had we embody God into a female body and on the other hand we burn our women for not bring dowry, or just because their husbands have died.

[SuperUncleruckus]

@Rohit84up yes but I celebrate it because it's what I expected. It's how you know nothing shithan is happen. Corruption happens, Corruption covers. Justice happens, Justice unveils. All I know is the government knows its happening, therefore the problem is at least in their mind, at least its given notice and possibly action could be taken.

[talibansoldiers]

so much for worlds largest democracy same old story rich take care of selves and leave the poor to turn on one another the good old caste system

[envanje]

the accusation of witchcraft was and is all over the world a pretext for what cannot be justified. murder and stealing.

[fightsquad88]

IDIOTIC

[royalsteven]

Primitve shit happens eveywhere no surprise -__- Mostly in third world countries where supersitition, worshipping idols and animals and occult rituals happen. When Jesus comes back he starts in these places to rise up people.

[fitnesschaser01]

@royalsteven people who worship jesus are just as deluded

[royalsteven]

Oh no, maybe for you because you are spiritually dead. But I think not.! Jesus is alive and so testify about 2 billion of His followers. He is, and will be our savior. All praise to the Truth, the Way and the Life!!!

[fitnesschaser01]

@royalsteven 2 billion of his followers are deluded as well. you guys compare to this crazy people in the villages.

[royalsteven]

Ofcourse 2 billion people are crazy and you are normal. Do you realize what you say :D

[fitnesschaser01]

@royalsteven Definitely! :) just like how everyone use to believe the world was flat and only a few people didn't believe that. Numbers does not excuse your delusions :D

[royalsteven]

Yes but those ere different times with less knowledge about things, today we have all the knowledge and almost everything is know. You mean to say 2 billion christians and total 4 billion believers are all unintelligent and crazy people. While they are the ones who think about life and love more than any person.

[fitnesschaser01]

@royalsteven yes

[intermender]

This must happen in all isolated communities of the world, not just india. Increasing national interconnectedness (internet access?) will change perspectives (but i admit not before the pain of transition and humanisation of provincial conservatives). Interviewer made a great question when he asked why only women are targeted. (The other telling point 'accusations against widows with property'). Course any action can be contrived justifiable under an untestible premise (ref: religion).

[DruidAnthony]

I did a Magic show for a wonderful India Family on 9/11 2010 of this year. They were every nice and enjoy my Magic show. They even tip me more then I charged them because they enjoyed it that much!

1:44 Its all about robbing and stealing from people. That's just sad.

Also the only women to get any media attention for being stoned to death or torture are women from Iran because you know who wants to go to war with Iran. We must only save women from Iran law.

[markjoachen]

she is a witch,,,, she turn me into a newt,,,, i am er better now

[JaminHell]

@markjoachen really? can i keep you as a pet. i love newts lol

[jokers697]

Its not humanity.

Why noone stops them doing this.

It really hurts after watching this.

[jokers697]

Its not humanity.

Why noone stops them doing this.

[envanje]

Nobody believed or believes in witchcraft, it is just a pretext to rob innocent women from their possessions. The most despised way of stealing. The people torturing the women are just brutal thieves !

[Ubookz]

Those in higher positions inherit their wealth and walk over the poor, this world is sick

[bilderberghunter]

these men are cowards simple, india is losing it;s touch with reality. this is totally crazy. look you sick crazy idiots, wake up, and stop the hate.

[kottokotton]

This concerns ONLY the TRIBAL POPULATIONS. It has NOTHING to do with HINDUISM. 

[BullFrog1988]

LOL Reset button on the woman's head

[Sunaminator]

Ez a nő elmehetnek Kiszel Tündének. XD

[johnmoreland]

Privative stuff. Animals behave with more nobility than this.

[thesouthrapsucks]

i hate scum indians

[sinclaircats]

This doesn't surprise me coming from a country where they murder baby girls because a boy is wanted . Look at that kiddie who was born with six legs and they refused medical help thinking she was a hindi goddess

[peepeevagi]

And people say india is soooo much better than the US.

[13productionzBlack]

Holy shit Ranjaya Kumari( whom the guy interviews) looks like a freaking witch. I dont want to be waking up in the middle of the night and seeing her face smiling at me, Ahhhhhhhhhhh lol

[ouivalerie]

Watch the red dot on the Indian woman's 3rd eye? It is said this is Satanic in practice, perhaps designed to organize energy on the area. Of course the woman say it simply means they are married.  Other's suspect that it's a trick. What IS witchcraft but such a symbolic practice as this? It's a superstition or a working craft, either way the dot can fall under the witchcraft category.

[oeufgwoieu]

i really really really HOPE humanity takes a BIG evolutionary jump towards an ENLIGHTENed species very very SOON

[KingKong1ooo]

kill defencless people ?

can the people prove the are witches?

than this is murder and should be dealt in courts- so what is the india justice system doing?\prove they are witches

[bryle1890]

Poor people they shouldn't treated like that.

[shazycalm]

/watch?v=jI31HVEi76g

Watch it...Shame on India!

Watch it...Shame on India!

Watch it...Shame on India!

Watch it...Shame on India!

Watch it...Shame on India!

[rockstar1720003]

The aaa and aaa very very aaa

[rockstar1720003]

The red dot on her head looks ugly

[Jame243]

The State is responsible to stop all these crimes by arresting all the people resonsible for the killings and publicly puniss them by hanging them in the public square!!!!!

[divinity4infinity]

If you were wondering what hell was like - here it is. If she was a witch - surely she would have stopped the attack. This is abuse - outright - and of a disabled woman. Just disgusting and very very sad.

[TeslaGenius]

RUBBISH VIDEO RT !

India is strategically important allay for Russia specially in domain of military cooperation!

This subject is internal problem of India and not some sensationalist subject for globalist feminism!

[TerminalMontage]

Psssssh, I bet a lot of the women that die are real witches.

[randomlife41]

This is very sad !

[WhereEaglesDareWWII]

I'm afraid the so called educated Indians are not much better than these witch hunting wife burners.

[FastFlyingAngel]

India is a dirty and disgusting nation. The worship so many false gods and idols it makes me shake my head and wonder how can they escape the judgment of the true God.

God bless and multiply the enemies of India exceedingly unless they repent of their stampedes and persecution of the righteous Christians in that nation.

[abh3092]

@FastFlyingAngel

hey you illegitimate son of fake magician Jesus Christ, shut your dirty mouth

Christianity is fake, Christians are fake,Christ is fake

[PhreakStep]

@abh3092

Lets start new religion just watch "miricles" of Criss Angel :P

[singlaprety12]

@abh3092 Jesus Is real and his message is true.

[abh3092]

@singlaprety12 --no my dear...jesus was a fake bastard

[allianceFiLifeDotCom]

@singlaprety12 lol the spaghetti monster is real his message is true

[SvrchovaneCechy]

Hillary is very lucky not to be an Indian citizen.

[SteveXnycperformance]

whats the dot on her head for? target practicing.

HINDU = HIDDEN DUES.

[TheAngeliqueMonte]

If doctor didnt tell that witches are bad...

Dumb prejudices all over the world ,people!

Like magic is only dark?

Assure you,magic can be also light!Plus,most of "witches' that are being hunted in India arent witches at all((

Stupid medieval times in 21 century?

degeneration............(c)

[himalayanspirit]

This bullshit is just a result of caste system, which itself is a result of racism. The Central Asian origin Aryans/Indo-Scythians etc oppressed the native Indians....and they keep doing it.

[abh3092]

@himalayaspirit

there is no evidence supporting the fact that aryan invasion ever took place, what happened in india 4000-5000 years ago is still a mystery

[mastervovan]

that is as bad as those muslims running around torturing , mutilating and cutting peopels heads off who don't worship there Babylonian moon god god Allah QFT

[hql]

what the hell are you talking about?? dont point out your stupid opinion and insulting other religion..well i think if u have religion, u should know that every religions forbid their followers to insult others..

[kacekace]

@mastervovan wow you're really stupid.

[NUSRPKINA]

What is going on with the governor why they don't save the poor women's!This is very sad and shameful for the Indian governor!

[abh3092]

@HyperBorealOperator

these are tribals the aboriginal indians

[hajijackson]

week ago in Pakistan's province Sindh a Hindu priest sacrificed his 2 young daughters for the happiness of "Kali" Devi. Cruel practices are because of lack of education and cause of so called supremacy of upper Hindu caste.

[abh3092]

@hajijackson

witchcraft has nothing to do with hinduism, these are tribal customs

[hajijackson]

@abh3092 I have not accused hindusim but the caste system? Do u diagree with me about the caste system and teachings about Dalits and other lower castes?

[abh3092]

@hajijackson

caste system is not unique to Hinduism , it is practiced by Muslims,Christians and Buddhist too,beside this has nothing to do with faith, these are tribal aboriginal customs practiced by animist

[hajijackson]

This is so pathetic. This is true dark side of India. On 1 side India is boasting it's economy and modernization. And on ther other hand 90% out of more than 1 Billion population of India lives in villages and slums. Where no education or electricity. People living in Dark ages. Where upper caste system humiliates lower caste.

[abh3092]

@hajijackson

90% of indians live in villages????...........are you mad????..........this is a story of eastern india and does not represent all of india, eastern india is the poorest of all indian regions

[hajijackson]

@abh3092 So that must made you feel proud that this is eastern India? Plz tell us about the population of Eastern India?

[abh3092]

@hajijackson

population of east india is 220 million, anyways this is a tribal affair and not mainstream one

[RoyalRook]

What a pathetic soul, so weak, fearful, and desperate. "Nobody needs to come in." Hahahahaha, who would bother? She is guarding shit, yea pure shit that reeks.

There is nothing could be done as long as Muslim fanatics are still running both wild and deep throughout India. Not to mention child prostitution and bla, bla, bla, bla, bla, bla, bla. I am so numb from this shit, I can't even feel anything anymore, I am just going to make more money and smoke my last cigarette of the night.

[dayati]

This is purely bred out of ignorance. You need to educate people to get rid of primitive superstitious insanity.

[STOPShariaLAWnow]

So true, isn't it amazing that in the 21th century people still believe in superstitious crap?(excuse my french)

Unbelievable!

[LibertaerUeberAlles]

Wow, that's almost as bad as how Israelis treat Palestinians.

[mikkitiny]

i used to think India is a modern country. it really has good research facilities, good manufacturing sector and it turns out that big part of the country stiil lives in medieval times. surprise.

[abh3092]

@mikkitiny

yes india has a lot of tribals who indulge in these kind of activities

[MrTearsintherain]

Before anyone from America starts feeling too self righteous, remember Sarah Palins pet preacher. We are all just barely over the border from Barbarianville.

[mikkitiny]

@MrTearsintherain

btw, Sarah Palin is very popular in America. does it say something?

[MrTearsintherain]

@mikkitiny I wouldn't go so far as to say she is "very popular" in America, she just has a core group of extremely zealous fans. But then again, that is all a certain little mustachioed Austrian had at one time. Like I said, we are all just a short step over the border from Barbarianville. I'll amend that by syaing that some of us have a 4600 sq ft home on main street there.

[hauntedscarecrowmurd]

the people who are the most psychic are the most secret about it!...there is nothing to be gained in letting the average- below-average-vegitable planted in front of the idiot box...know anything about occult secrets!

[hauntedscarecrowmurd]

witchcraft and psychic powers are very real...but most modern witches try to help and heal people and very rarely or never cast a hex spell for revenge!...most people are very frightened of the few people with more advanced psychic e.s.p. psionic powers!...most witches are just pretending....to frighten snotty neighbors!

[Dyhalto10]

I like the report on rural Russia better ,where bears roam the streets.

[TheAngeliqueMonte]

@Dyhalto10 I live in Russia.I've never seen bears ,thought my city is veery close to North Pole.

Do I need to say something sweet about West as well?

Hehe,you arent worth for even of 1 second of my attention

Америкосы уже всем надоели (c)

[urpgag]

it's about money. get the woman off to herself when she's hurting from losing her husband, for example, and kill her to steal her land. dis-gusting. and no, I don't care a fig about your history. stop murdering women for the purpose of stealing from their families. period.

[82abhilash]

@urpgag It is about money alright. There is very little of it. When money is scarce people find excuses to steal. Excuses that are politically incorrect to challenge. So why is this video not titled. "Women labelled as witches and robbed" ?

[Delgrodel]

That is one big dot.

[macks3123]

I've Seen this video before. A few months ago. Wow, you could at least try to fool me. Change the title next time

[82abhilash]

@macks3123 You mean they are just showing an old story to fill the timeslot?

[pmarie2003]

4:32 How sad that a man can just tie a woman up like a cow and lead her along. Come to the U.S. and try that with me, Sir.

What religion does this stem from. In Africa, branding someone a witch comes from Christianity. "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live."

[klard]

What is the difference with what is being done in the USA? Imprisoning people for large parts of their life because they use a plant the government has arbitrarily decided to use to fill the prisons.

[707RipOtee]

Needs more eye of Newt.

[82abhilash]

Work needs to be done in India.

[Darkonomist]

In India, Indians are killed for witchcraft. I read that that in Russia, normal Indian students are killed for having a darker skin.

So my conclusion is that in all countries of the world there are some psychopaths, regardless of their nationality.

[jetdude101]

dont forget the inquisition in saudi arabia

[sniper6081]

India's into witch hunt now too? Stupid religion.

[abh3092]

@sniper6081

hinduism is not into witchcraft, it is tribal custom practiced by animist

[sniper6081]

@abh3092 Really? The only nation with witch hunts that don't do them for religious reasons. Well that's one.

[xXDominoXx]

India has their witch hunters and Western nations have their liberals.

sure they are both idiots, but they are funny to watch when they think they know what they're talking about.

[BLUEBOORABBITT]

The villages need more police patrols and the women need firearms. These women groups need to teach these women how to protect themselves and their property. At least go out fighting and take some with you.

[urpgag]

@BLUEBOORABBITT I am a man and I totally agree with you. politicians prefer unarmed peasants

[videochemist]

Please tell me RussiaToday is making an early April fools prank.

[Scrat335]

God, what a lousy society.

[TheLeftofright]

My heart goes out to these poor women. Light and love to their souls.

Thank you RT for airing this video, so the world can see the work that needs to be done.

"Participate joyfully in the sorrows of the world. We cannot cure the world of sorrows, but we can choose to live in joy."

Joseph Campbell

[zarehs]

This is merely scratching the surface. I cannot imagine what else is going on in india. Especially the treatment of the lowest casts (Dallit's, Shudra's or pariah's) - the untouchables. Widow burning is still practiced in the villages.

I hope that UN and the human rights watch will put preassure on India to stop these violations of human rights. India has an endlessly long road infront of it, if it ever wants to reach the level of the west (Europe)

[fashionxue]

@zarehs

They are too busy about concerning Google in China rather than the witch in India.lol

[82abhilash]

Is your imagination the benchmark for what goes on in India?

[abh3092]

@zarehs

hey porki, caste system and sati are banned, any one doing it is put on jail for years,

india is not pokistan where rape is a punishment, remember mukhtar mai??

[zarehs]

@abh3092 Dont be in denial. Turning away from reality wont help you. India is sick, and needs help. And it sounds like you do as well! Good luck.

[robertk1968]

Still takes place in Africa !

[AlvaroAndfriends]

Dont these people ever grow the hell up?

These idiot people are still living in the middle ages time to grow the hell up.

Time has changed greatly time for the accused to be set free.

I wonder if my grandmother lived through that of being accused of witch craft.

[morningmayan]

it's all about stealing the land. just like in Salem, anyone accused of Witchcraft loses their land and property and it becomes the states( gov) in this case they split it up to the neighbors! Talk about a conflict of interest-

[SouthFacedWindows]

This happens only in India. No wonder here!

[raazstone]

most indians are double talk.

[barashah]

next super power hahahahahahahahahaha..........­........

[CheeezMaster]

punishment should be considered here, no?

[exposing31]

that is as bad as those muslims running around torturing , mutilating and cutting peopels heads off who don't worship there Babylonian moon god god Allah

[HANNIBALbengal]

@exppsing31

Are u a nazi ameriKKKan viral war yanKKKY???

[DE4THbyFE4R]

I am sure in your mind what you typed made a lot of sense but here in the real world you just exposed yourself as a fucking moron!

[DemonicGemini]

Allah is a Babylonian god hes the same god jews and christians worship in the Abrahamic religion but the teachings are different

[sambios]

Watch your mouth! You didn't speak from you head. You are one of those who don't have any wisdom what so ever.

Islam is pure faith all these things have not base in Islam.

[HerroHerrar]

you fucking faggot atleast we muslims dont fuck our children while they sleep lol, and these hindu worship cows and monkeys what did you expect, and your claim for us being a Babylonian moon god worshipers? just underlines how much of Islam you understand you uneducated hick,

[82abhilash]

@HerroHerrar Do Hindus fuck their children when they sleep? Is that what you just implied?

[HerroHerrar]

the moon symbol you are reffering to is a ottoman flag(if you dont know what ottoman is which you probably dont its a country called Turkey today) and has noting to do with other muslims especially the arabs, muslims not worship the sun, the moon or human like you lol, we worship only one god and follow him mesengers like moses, jesus, and muhammed(SAW)

[jesslessthemess]

@HerroHerrar the black cube represents Saturn. Muslims worship Saturn

[hannahrafique]

@exposing31

they arent even muslims. they're hindu! do some research.

[spilot14]

I feel really sad for you. Can you tell me what did the 1.4 Billion Muslims each? I'm a Muslim and an Arab and I live in Saudi Arabia and apperently we aren't 'running around tortuing, mutilating, cutting peoples heads off'.

Please don't take a 1 Muslim action for the whole 1,400,000,000 Muslims.

[AhmedM85]

@exposing31 lol lay off the LSD

[colloredbrothers]

poor people.

[HANNIBALbengal]

TO ALL IGNORANT EURO MONKEYS.

[CheeezMaster]

ps, it's: AN Asian Brit

[GodOfTheInternets]

You sound like someone who supports reverse racism.

[ZKY2]

Exactly. European barbaric HISTORY.

As in our ancient past.

As in IT DOESN'T FUCKING HAPPEN ANYMORE.

[videochemist]

LOL.

Not sure if serious...

[BlloodRayyven]

I am sure that Europeans had """ witch hunts """ in history, but the thing is that they don't have them anymore and India do.

Who are the monkeys?

[dikkydoo1]

@HANNIBALbengal watch your mouth u filthy wog, or we'll horse whip you like we did to your grandfather.

[RoyalRook]

That's not true, lol. Who told you India is the world's most ancient civilization? Which to show your education level is pretty low.

[urpgag]

@HANNIBALbengal ohhh, wow, far out, man.

fortunately for you we awful americans think we like you Indians. dunno always why maaan. but we do. maybe it's because there is an inner dignity to the whole people of India even as some of you individuals are turds

[tony609]

stupid indians , ignorants ! seriously !

[RuslanMasinjila]

OMG we are in the 21st century for God's sake.

[fenix611]

i detect hypocricy in that comment....mmh...

[hAhan17]

YES we are in the 21st century... but YOUR ancestors have been thru the pass.. without our ancestors, there wont be 21st century and YOU!!!

[RoyalRook]

Yea, let's worship prokaryote cells and sea weeds, too. Be quiet and wake the fuck up. Welcome to the 21st century while you are at it.
