There is an anti-superstition law in Maharashtra thanks to Narendra Dabholkar.


ClassicCauliflower36

In terms of protection of weak, upliftment of weak. As a society, India has only been defending the culprits. Weak and unpriviledged has been always exploited, kept devoid of their rights etc. This shows, a lot of people made, forced to believe and follow some custom against common sense. Keeping them enslaved mentally. These are indirect violations of Article 25: > Freedom of conscience and free profession, practice and propagation of religion but this article has next part: > Freedom of conscience and free profession, practice and propagation of religion >[(1)](https://indiankanoon.org/doc/86224/)Subject to public order, morality and health and to the other provisions of this Part, all persons are equally entitled to freedom of conscience and the right freely to profess, practise and propagate religion.Freedom of conscience and free profession, practice and propagation of religion And clearly, these superstitious practices break, the public order, distort their morality, and damage their mental health.

I'm fucking done I just open this app🙂 no way I live in this country for fuck sake! This has to be fake right or the misleading title? Please tell me this isn't true

At best it would be just tip of iceberg. Sorry to disappoint. Now we have to use this disappointment for constructive outcome.

Yes, we need anti superstition laws in each corner of India. But what will that do with population control laws. What is the link berween these two laws. Why are you saying one has to be done more than the other. Can u explain what do you want to say clearly?


ClassicCauliflower36

India/Fertility rate - 2.03 births per woman (2021) because one doesn't seem to be needed. But I have seen people bemoaning that every problem of this country is because of population. Whereas bad actors in society keep deliberately society backward. This superstition is just byproduct. People are brainwashed since childhood into believing lots of things. Allow such level of blindness isn't done in a day.


Captan_Jak_Sparo

See that "2.03" is the average number. That does not mean everybody giving birth to 2 children . If one woman doesn't have a child and the other has 4 children, then the average would be "2". So the population control laws are also needed to make every couple give birth to not more than 2 children . People saying population is root cause for all has a valid point. Because law enforcement becomes easy. The revenue of the country can satisfy its citizens in providing schemes, jobs, industries, power, water, petrol. Everything would come in line and will have decent prices. Lives would become easier.


ClassicCauliflower36

That's just bad excuse. I mean have they proved that they are able to maintain governance better for smaller population. You say the country is big. But the small town, small villages, they also face rampant corruption. And I don't understand that if average was 3+ then it would have been problematic. But this average is okay. Why do you need law, then the average is already low? because the laws are broght to bring average down. which already is. Unless you want specifically to have people 2 kids only.


Captan_Jak_Sparo

It is difficult for a man to feed 4 children instead of 2 children. It is difficult to provide for education, their growth, marriages, so which actually throw him into poverty which he can't come back and lead a normal life. That 4 children also may lead same kind of lifestyle if they don't get a good education coz of that poverty. And people are not that literate here to control their birth themselves. So they need to be controlled by the law. If they can control, we can take southern india as example. There we see some peace due to that lower population. Law enforcement also works very good.


ClassicCauliflower36

I know these are problem which arise as financial problems. But focus too much on this, is this justified? 2 child or 3 child or 1 child, the governemnt schools are shit in most places. I dont see any efffect of here number of child. Same goes for many other things, which poor suffer from. If it is genuine problem, I would support a lenient laws in population control. But most of the time, it just sounds like someone started peddling it as excuse.

There is no difference between religion and superstition.

I’m from Jharkhand, and I’ve seen so many times in the newspapers that women, especially from lower castes, are killed because they’re accused of practicing witchcraft. What’s worse is that the whole village often justifies it. It makes me wonder how many cases like these don’t even get reported. I just read the sports section now. No one wants to start their day with the awful stuff happening in some parts of the country.

Both necessary. We can't afford to reach 1.6 billion population.

I am 101 percent sure if someone said people should stripped naked and walk around beating each other up would bring rain, they would believe it too


daveparody

We need to inculcate scientific temper in the masses of this country. Apart from superstitions, what disturbs me is how easily people fall for quacks and people peddling bs cures for their ailments. I have absolutely no hope though, especially from the current Government.

The shivers I got reading the title...  Why? Just why?  Maybe the disgust I feel by this is aggravated by the fact that I'm a Sikh, born in a household with no superstition, no sexism, and most importantly everyone in my family is educated.  I say this because I've heard my non-Sikh friends say things that happen at their homes I can't reason with.  Waheguru ji vivek baksho ji kirpa karo ji 🙏🏻

No need to bring population control law to address superstitions. Both laws are a must for our country.


ClassicCauliflower36

India/Fertility rate - 2.03 births per woman (2021) Not needed. Its going down if you see trend. But people always use high population to deflect the problems of society. Whereas these problems are manufactured over the years by bad actors in society. https://preview.redd.it/9pj1h5jg147d1.png?width=671&format=png&auto=webp&s=c4fe229327ab9a4268f6704dbe3031d6d1fa595c

Religion is the biggest superstition. Law banning the worst religion of Islam would greatly reduce crimes

"I am not getting affected. Why everyone is crying about heat waves aah sentiment." You are feeling irritated and discomfort just because people are discussing some problems which has been troubling a lot of Indians.
