Excerpt:
DUMBEST CRIMINALS STORIES FROM AROUND THE INDIAN OCEAN BASIN
European explorers began establishing footholds in the subcontinent of India during the 16th century. By the 19th century, Great Britain had become the dominant political power on the subcontinent. The British Indian Army played a vital role in both World Wars. Years of nonviolent resistance to British rule, led by Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru, eventually resulted in Indian independence, which was granted in 1947. Large-scale communal violence took place before and after the subcontinent partition into two separate states – India and Pakistan.
The two neighboring nations have fought three wars since independence, the last of which was in 1971 and resulted in East Pakistan becoming the separate nation of Bangladesh. Despite pressing problems of overpopulation, excessive poverty environmental degradation, and widespread corruption, economic growth following the launch of economic reforms in 1991 and a massive youthful population are driving India’s emergence as a regional and global democratic power.
Indian law is based on a common law system on the English model. There are separate personal law codes that apply to Muslims, Christians and Hindus.
The highest court is the Supreme Court.
The chief of state is President Pranab Mukherjee since July 22, 2012.
Here are a few dumbest criminal stories. These come from India and around the Indian Ocean Basin. They are really funny and weird.
INDIA:
INDIA: Weapons-grade spice! Who knew? A group of criminals hijacked a train and freed a fellow gang member by using local hot chili powder. The bandits threw the powder in the faces of the police, freed their cohort and fled.
INDIA: Apparently pachyderms and moonshine do not mix well. A pack of drunken elephants tore through an Indian village after they got into 500 gallons of moonshine. The elephants destroyed 12 homes in Dumurkota, where police and villagers eventually herded the elephants back over a river and onto to their migration route.
INDIA: Just make sure you spell Hitler correctly on the ballot! Among the 345 candidates who had run for the national assembly in the latest election in India are Adolf Lu Hitler, Frankenstein Momin, Billy-Kid Sangma and Jhim Carter Sangma. “Parents get fascinated by names of well-known people but are unaware that some are infamous,” said a local teacher. You think?
AUSTRALIA:
AUSTRALIA: OUCH! What kind of sex was he planning on having? A man ended up in the hospital emergency room where he surprised doctors when an X-ray found that he had stuck a fork into his penis. The man had hoped the utensil would serve as a sexual aid. However, since this did not work out doctors removed the fork with lubricant and forceps. OUCH! OUCH!
