This Gruesome List Of Some Of The Most Horrific Torture Methods Will Make You Lose Your Appetite
Before Google search or truth or dare became a mainstream thing, people used other methods to extract information. But not everyone had the gift of subterfuge. Torture was a popular way of getting people to reveal information or confess to crimes (which they sometimes did not commit). While impaling people or crucifying them or even laying them on a torture rack was pretty common in history, there have been other methods that are so screwed up that simply reading about them might make you shudder. No, seriously, if you’re easily rattled, reading further might not be the best idea.

Life as a Court Jester: Jovial Entertainer or Risky Maverick
In the 10th century, the daring jester Jing Xinmo found himself in a perilous situation after a playful encounter with a dog led to a teasing remark directed at the Chinese emperor's children. The emperor, taking offense, trained an arrow on Jing, ready to deliver a harsh punishment. However, instead of begging for his life, Jing fearlessly cracked yet another joke. Fortunately, this witty pun hit its mark, and the emperor's arrow missed. The existence of jesters, contrary to popular belief, extended beyond medieval Europe and thrived in various times and cultures. The earliest reliably recorded jester, You Shi, emerged in 7th century BCE China and declared that his jesting words could not give offense, a privilege central to the jester's role, though occasionally breached. Jesters held unique relationships with power, as they were both objects of mockery and cherished entertainers and confidants. Becoming a jester involved diverse paths, including appointments due to physical or neurological differences, selection from the pool of entertainers, or recruitment by a traveling courtier. An example of the latter occurred in the 1530s when a royal servant wrote to King Henry VIII's chief minister, recommending a young boy as a replacement for the aging jester Sexten, assuring that he would be far more pleasant than his predecessor.

Road to Pakistan
Elections are always a tool to decide any of the confict existing in the world. In history, for sorting the partition conflict in united India, also the concept of elections were proposed. The elections of 1946 have a unique significance in the Indian political history when a political party took part in the elections based on one point manifesto. In fact, Muslim League took part in these elections because of manifesto aimed at the creation of Pakistan. Before taking part in the 1946 elections, Quaid-i-Azam announced on 10 October 1945, “Our demand of Pakistan is quite clear. Those parts of India, where Muslims are in majority should be amalgamated to form a free and sovereign state. If the Muslims voted against Pakistan, I shall accept my defeat. The President of the Indian National Congress, Maulana Abdul Kalam Azad, sent a very detestable telegram to the Viceroy of India reacting against the announcement of these elections. Lord Wavell responded, “Azad [Maulana Abdul Kalam has sent me a very loathsome telegram in reaction of not consulting him in the announcement of election programme. Actually, he is trying to reprieve himself. He is trying to use these elections as an arm for the release of his other companions from jail. The daily Dawn published an appeal of Khan Abdul Qayyum
