What Wikipedia says

Jhatka (Punjabi: ਝਟਕਾ, romanized: jhaṭkā pronounced [t͡ɕʌ˩˥ʈ.kaː]) is a method of slaughtering an animal for meat by a single strike of a sword or axe to sever its head within the Sikh religion and many Hindus. This kills the animal almost instantly. This type of slaughter is preferred by most meat-consuming Sikhs.
