    It is said that Vlad Țepeș would calmly dine among impaled enemies to show that he feared no one and that his rule was built on strict order and harsh justice. Because he was known to be severe but fair, legends claim that a golden cup could be left by a public fountain for any thirsty traveler to use, and no one would dare steal it. His uncompromising punishments created such fear that theft was said to have nearly disappeared from the land.

    He was a friendly aquaintance of Yahya Khan before the Partition of India. It is said that Yahya was going to buy Sam’s motorbike for ₹1000 but took it with him to Pakistan once the Partition happened and never paid him back. Yahya’s reign in Pakistan caused many massacres in East Pakistan to the point where so many refugees from East Pakistan were entering India that India had to step in to stop this. From this the country of Bangladesh was born though the relationship between India and Bangladesh is now highly strained due to many political factors
