TRUTH !!
In remote Indian villages, as many as 100 people are executed per year as
witches.

Landowning women are sometimes accused of witchcraft. Neighbors of the
suspected witch may begin collecting firewood on which the suspect will
burn. The women, often older widows, are scared enough to leave their homes.
Their neighbors then take their land.
