THE ACTUAL FREEDOM- FREEDOM FROM SUPERSTITIONS

Avijit Roy is a prominent American blogger of Bangladeshi origin has been hacked to death with machetes by unidentified assailants in Dhaka on February 26. His wife Rafida Afrin Banya injured seriously as unidentified criminals stabbed them near TSC on the Dhaka University (DU) campus. The couple were on a bicycle rickshaw, returning from a book fair, when two assailants stopped and dragged them on to the pavement before striking them with machetes, local media reported, citing witnesses. Activists say the government is not doing enough to ensure safety for bloggers even though the jihadist group Ansarullah Bangla had circulated a list of 80 bloggers on their hit list. I mean like if  you blog, fight for a social cause, you will be betrayed and harassed? Well, time for petrifying those people, who are so insane and can't stand justice and harmony.

Hello Back Howdies So here are some more interesting quotes on superstitions. Hope you like them :) Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. In fact men will fight for a superstition quite as quickly as for a living truth - often more so, since a superstition is so intangible you cannot get at it to refute it, but truth is a point of view, and so is changeable. Science stands for rational thought, faith for  superstition and unreason.

Hello Friends, Since we know we have came so far our journey has took a great face and as I told you being happy is most important and being confident and selfless, and Harmonious is also as important.

Hello Friends Since the Anti-Superstition law, to fight against superstitious practices has been passed, let us know some things about it, but what wonder is it's not that much prevalent and needs to be made stricter and also should be seeking forward for arrest and imprisonment of such frauds sadhu, saints and mahatmas as well! Source:- "Pleaders, Times of India" "Recently, the Maharashtra State Legislature passed the much publicized Anti- Superstition Bill. Maharashtra became the first state in the country to pass a bill to combat practices like black magic. In India, people believe a lot in tantriks and babas and most of these babas are frauds and earn money in millions on the basis of promised miracles and health cures. This amended bill was drafted by the Social Welfare Ministry of the Maharashtra Government. A police officer of any rank has the power to investigate cases of black magic. This bill was originally drafted some 17 years ago by one socia

Friends, I know We have studied a lot about them, still let's recall some superstitions vigilantly practised in India, and trust me they are useless ones!  India is a land of religions. Just like India’s languages, the religion changes after a few kilometres. As we know that  “With Great Power comes Great Responsibilities” , in the same manner,  With large number of religions come large number and kind of superstitions.  Although many superstitions are in no way, related to any religion, but they directly or indirectly are influenced by these factors. Being an Indian, superstitions are the things that we grew up with, and these superstitions have over powered our mind in such a manner that we unconsciously get carried away by that superstition, as our mind takes that superstition as a daily deed, without giving it any different behaviour.  The Day Phobia The literal meaning of “phobia” is extreme fear of something, and the Indian superstitions have rendered a phobia among

Hey Friends Time for Awareness! My creative works :- posters, brochures and Presentations will be uploaded by me for creative awareness. So No more superstitions now and yes to freedom and awareness.

Marking the first-ever judgement in a case under the state’s recently introduced anti-superstition law, the Vikhroli magistrate court yesterday acquitted a tantrik accused of cheating and harassing a 25-year-old woman. The accused, a peon-turned-tantrik, was booked by the Crime Branch on April 9, 2014, which also made it the first case ever to be booked under the Maharashtra Prevention and Eradication of Human Sacrifices and other Inhuman, Evil and Aghori Practices and Black Magic Act, 2013. The plaintiff’s husband and in-laws, who had also been booked under the Act, were acquitted by the court as well. Negligent investigation “This was the first case to be registered after the anti-superstition law was created,” confirmed the defence lawyers, Manoj Gowd and Kavita Durga Pal, who also said that the accused was acquitted because there had been no proper investigation. “There was negligence in the investigation. There was no proper procedure while recovering the evidence. The

The Statesman Earlier this month, a woman approached Kavita (name changed) with a proposition: if she agreed to partake in some rituals, it would rain money, she was told. The woman in question also told Kavita to find other girls; only, they must not have undergone any surgery, and would have to abstain from any medical check-ups. Though the prospect of money rain (paison ki baarish) was alluring, Kavita, a resident of Dapoli in Maharashtra's Ratnagiri district, grew suspicious, and informed her parents. On 16 February, an FIR was registered at a police station in Ratnagiri invoking the Maharashtra Prevention and Eradication of Human Sacrifice and other Inhuman, Evil and Aghori Practices and Black Magic Act, 2013. It was the 41st instance of the anti-superstition legislation being used in the state since it was passed as an ordinance on 24 August, 2013. The Legislative Assembly enacted it into a law on 13 December last year, making Maharashtra the first and only state to hav

My Dear Friends, Superstitions have a demoralizing effect on our life. It ends our self confidence. We can not think in a reasonable way. All our thinking and working power gets paralyzed under the influence of unknown fears. We consult priests, pandits, Sadhus, Saints, astrologers and others for making our life 'lucky'. We often use other 'mantras' and spells to ward off evil forces. We are disturbed because of the unknown. We may not do all this unknowingly. The unknown fear hangs over us and we can not get rid of it easily. No doubt, superstitions are an undesirable part of our life. Ignorant people have faith in something unseen. Even educated people are doing the same thing. We have got all this from our evolution from dark ages. The only cure for unnecessary superstitions is education and awareness. We should develop our reasoning power. We must have a scientific mind; we should try to analyze the things in logical way. Only then we may be free from unnec

Friends, In all of this, it is important to recognise that the delay in engaging with the issue of superstition and in passing legislation to stop its malicious effects has dangerous implications for the public. It benefits no one except the lobbies with selfish interests and their associates in the political fraternity, Godmen and religious quacks have routinely used tricks to say they are saving the community from witches, helping people who cannot bear a child, or providing remedies for incurable ailments. The people who engage in fraudulent superstitious activities or related propaganda usually get away with a clean chit by using religion as an alibi. Narhari Maharaj Chaudhari, the sec retary of Maharashtra State Warkari Mahamandal had stated that the Maharashtra Anti Superstition Bill is redundant as human sacrifice falls under the purview of the Indian Penal code. It is true that there are laws under the IPC which criminalise sexual abuse, harassment and human sacrifice; b

Friends Another Important aspect that has to be taken into account that why don't people are actually ready to speak on Superstitions...!! It's due to "Misguided Public Opinions" Apart from the deliberate and convenient blurring of the distinction between superstition and religion, there has also been an intentional misrepresentation of the bill and its purview. This has shown how public opinion is now increasingly driven by a handful of people, and a proactive agenda-driven propaganda based on false information spread by different lobbies: the politicians, godmen and religious quacks. This has been further facilitated by the lack of active involvement from the larger scientific communities. Pictures For Illustration Purpose Many have also argued that the anti-superstition bill is in conflict with their individual beliefs and faiths. One needs to look at the actual drafting of the bill to understand that the bill does not, in any way, restrict or affec

Friends I know I have told this already but again I would like to remind you all that t here is a fine line between superstition and religion and treading that fine line is a challenging task. Godmen, heads of religious organisations and even ministers have exploited this fine line for their own vested interests. They have intentionally created an aura of “fright” around issues regarding religion, making it difficult for the public to not only understand religion sans superstition, but even making sure that critical discussions of anything remotely concerned with religion are stalled. An important stakeholder is the larger scientific community, but in most cases, its members maintain an indifferent and apolitical stance towards issues of social relevance, adopting an ‘elitist’ position while distancing themselves from the general public. It has been no different in the case of the anti-superstition legislation. The scientific community could have been much more active in promot

Legislations are not exclusive answers to prevailing social injustice, but in the last few years, public discourse-driven interventions in legislation have demonstrated several positive changes, for example in the case of the Lokpal Bill, the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act 2013 and the repeal of Article 66A of the Information Technology (Amendment) Act, 2008. These and other cases  have shown that public opinion, if consolidated and sustained, can create interventions in the state machinery and change laws  which curb individual rights. Not too long ago, in April this year, Hindustan Times  reported the discovery of “headless torsos of two Dalit labourers – Nanjaiah (60) and Krishnaiah (47)” at a banana plantation off National Highway 209. Attempts to find out whether the perpetrators responsible for the death of Nanjaiah and Krishnaiah have been identified do not yield ready or easy information.  But the same report did mention that while the news of the b

Friends I saw something beautiful by one of my friend "Ashwin Kumar" and here what he says, but thats beautiful :) Hello Dear, I read your blogs regularly, and I would also like to share something:) My grand mother(dad's mom) is probably one of the most superstitious/conservativ e/"whatever you call it" kind of person. She is 85+ and even today she follows all the superstitions of a brahmin/iyer. To give a preview, she more or less wakes up at 4, takes headbath everyday, has to cook herself or if some one is assisting , they should have had head bath and post head bath should not have come in contact wih anyone or even any piece on non wet non new cloth. This concept is called "MADI" in tamil. She never eats outside and has to have the so called madi food everyday, including her daily beverages like coffee.  Its been like this forever now. I can't even list down all the superstitions she follows, might not even know a lot of them. She has a he
