ABSTRACT
Since ancient times, protecting its population has been a core responsibility of the state. In the past, the severity of the punishment was determined by the philosophies of punishment. Punishment is the implied deliberate burden placed on someone as a result of their crime. It has been planned with intention, and because of the anguish it causes, it is a burden. The purpose of this essay is to assess the various philosophies of punishment critically. In order to accomplish this, I'll give a quick overview of the history of punishment in India before discussing how various religions in India interpret punishment in light of their respective ideologies. There are several sources to learn about the punishment in ancient India, and we'll also focus on how other nations dealt with offenders there. Finally, because each of these theories has pros and cons, I will offer some solutions to the fundamental issues with these theories. It has been noted that conventional penalties have given way to the new trending concern of victimology in modern times with the emergence of justice administration. This essay explores several conceptions of punishment and explores whether it is still useful today.
