The Superstitious Society

Superstition is affecting our society somewhere about which we all are unaware. We all have seems to be a modern outlook. But it is still hidden from all of us such as holding breath or urge to urinate for winning of our favourite team.


Superstitions sometimes prove to be violent for the society. If peep into history, we come to know that it gives rise to racism like untouchability that caused many massacres and responsible for the number of mow downs. 'Sati pratha' was also a deadly, male dominant and unfair custom in India. God knows how many cleanhanded women died due to that inhuman custom.


These reveal the mentality of the people and these kinds of people acts as an obstacle in the development of the civilisation. Education is the best way to make people aware and bring them out in reality. Many decades ago people were believed that sun revolves around the earth and now the actuality is vice versa.
Every coin has two faces as it is some superstitions are proved to be s iscientific. Such as we should not sleep under the tree. But why? Because we need oxygen for respiration and trees too in the absence of sunlight. And they consume the oxygen of our portion also.


Thus it is easy to build or break the confidence of a superstitious man. This may lead to the luck factor and directly affects the performance, lifestyle, success, relations, emotion and mentality of the people.

Spreading Smiles: Shakti Sutra Team's Trip to Phechaan The Street School

We all know the impact of education on our lives and in society. In schools, we studied the role of education in different domains and eras, from revolutionaries who fought for our independence to social reformers who gave our society new directions to the great scientists who changed our lives through time-changing discoveries and inventions. The contributions of these people are incomparable. They all had a different mission that made them extraordinary but that's not the point here. The matter to ponder is that you are reading the words I wrote. You are interpreting these sentences, that might be different from others depending on your background and experiences. You are making an analogy that might be different from the analogies of others. A philosophy student might infer the words slightly differently than a student of history. Sorry, there are no numbers to tally for the commerce people and no equation for the science people. But believe me, there is nothing to do with all t...

Each individual inherits th...
