Meaning "the right of the sword", referring to the legal authority of an individual or group to execute someone for a capital offense.
Would I personally shoot Shiney Ahuja in the head if I was given the chance to?
Yes.
Yahoo! reported Shiney Ahuja, who was accused of raping his maidservant, recently released this statement through his lawyer:
"She belongs to a lower caste, which is aggressive by nature, and she wouldn't have submitted herself so easily. They are known for being aggressive.
Rape cases can be easily concocted. It's hard to prove them and even harder to defend. Prima facie, the case has become a little doubtful. Why didn't the victim try to run from the crime site, if she had not relented to his sexual advances.
Some of the tests have proved that sexual intercourse had occurred. So we are not refuting that part. We are just contending on the allegation that the victim was raped."
I stopped reading after "they are known for being aggressive."
It's amazing how little effort it takes to blow something that is a sexual crime into a caste issue. Plus if this is the only argument that dude has as a defense, I'm sure Ahuja's going to be stuck in prison for a really, really long time.
