Seeing anybody who whips his body with a hunter like thing and bleeding severely presents a horrible sight. This practice is prevalent in other religions too. Such gory rituals should be banned.

All the rituals mentioned in the link should be banned but the tragedy is, these are not yet banned. Sharing a link regarding hooking:

Like in Bengal, where some festivals like Gajan, Charak and neel Puja, there are other places, where such festivals where violence, punishing themselves beating with whips as a mark of penitence or Prayaschitta are still prevalent not only in rural and remote places. but in Urban regions too.

Yes. During Mohurram festival, believers beat themselves with Iron Chains, causing severe bleeding. It makes a weird spectacle.. But Anil, there are several such practices in the village festivals in many parts of the country. No one is thinking of banning these festivals.
