"This looks like the dry run in India of a system that was designed to connect electronically to an individual premie’s bank account. The longer you press on Prem’s 3rd eye. the more money is drained from your account. When your bank account has been emptied, you’re given a mild electric shock to encourage you to move on.

The system was modified over the years and finally implemented as The Major Donor project."
