I had read about Chinese water torture as a child. In this form of torture, the victims was tied so that he could not move. Then cold water was dripped slowly on his head. The victim would go crazy waiting for the next drop to fall, perhaps imagining that the drip would make a hollow in his head like it does on a stone with a drip of water.
India and China being neighbors, I compared the Indian torture to this Chinese torture. In Indian torture the victims are not tied down, because they have nowhere to go where there would be no torture. Loud discordant noise (some call it music) is made, using instruments like huge drums, trumpets, electric banjos. The sound is amplified thousandfold using gigawatt speakers, sometimes banks of them. The sound is made while festive processions go along roads. The victims go crazy waiting for the procession to move on, which it doesn't. The noise vibrated violently not only the eardrums, but the rib cage and chordae tendinae in the heart too. I have put the processes down graphically here. Putting down the tactile part of the Chinese torture and auditory auditory part of the Indian torture is beyond the scope of the current Internet technology.
The Chinese torture is shown on the left, while the Indian torture is shown on the right. A comparative table is as follows.
My comments: I am one of the victims. You can guess my comments. I say 'no comments' because there is a report in the newspapers today, of an activist being thrashed by police because he went to complain against sound pollution caused by such noisy revelry.
