Many Indians resort to insane measures and tricks when it comes to superstitions. While on one hand we have ISRO launching the space shuttle, and on the other hand, the superstitions refuse to unfollow us. Instead of stopping, we tend to blindly follow it. Why do we find our wisdom to be clouded on the pretext of superstition?
Watch this video by The Mighty India to witness a saree clad ‘Godman’ (or should I say, monster?) swinging the baby amidst the background of bhajan ceremony. You can see the women clapping and totally supporting this drama. Several questions arise after watching the video.
1. Where is the mother of the baby and why is she resorting to this act?
2. Why is the baby not crying?
3. Why are people supporting this bullshit in the name of superstition?
