Crime and Punishment
Published on March 15th, 2021

For five hundreds years after the death of Genghis Khan, legend has it, that a virgin with a sack of gold could travel across the kingdom of the Khan in safety.


This was not for the love of the Khan, but the fear of the consequences if Genghis Khan’s dictum was disobeyed.


Then the wrath of the Khan was feared by all. This must be understood by the present day Khan, The love will die with you.


The fear will out live you and for longer. The punishments meted out by you will be remembered long after you are gone.


And so these punishments must be exemplary and strike terror in those who choose to break the law before they can so dare.


Fyodor Dostoevsky in his opus Crime and Punishment for one thousand pages ruminates the consequences of the crime committed and for a thousand pages the mental anguish of the imminent punishments which torments the subject.


The entire narrative builds around the mental anguish of the criminal in reliving the nightmare over and over again.


The opus describes in minute detail the death of mental anguish that the demons unleashed by man’s conscience.


Oh, Khan without punishment your efforts will be nought.
Your era will be remembered by the severity of the punishments.
This torment so beautifully detailed has placed this book into the great literary epics of all time.
Imran Khan must realise importance of the punishments to the social system.
Without punishments his entire efforts would diminish and would lose their relevance.
