When the sun is below the horizon the

studded with rows of iron spikes on
which a Hindu was lying at full length,
was being pulled through the streets. A

was doing penance and was on his way

only a loin cloth. He must have been
suffering acute pain from the fact that
his body was bruised and lacerated all
over as a result of lying on the sharp
nails. Neither the police nor any passer-
by made any attempt to stop the self
imposed torture.
