Law and order getting lynched by groups
Two gruesome incidents that can cost India its name have occurred in Delhi and Maharashtra. While the first incident shows the country still seeped in superstition, the second one shows the denigrating law and order system of this country.
Eleven members of a family, including seven women have ended their lives in Delhi. All their bodies were found in the state they had hung themselves. All of them have followed a similar thought and operation process. The whole incident is very mysterious. Books relating to black magic and supernatural powers were found in the house. They all probably died with the hope that some divine superpower would save them at the last minute. The family not only firmly believed in god, but also had great interest in paranormal practices. Either one of them has killed every one and ended his own life; or all of them ended their lives by their own will. Investigations have pointed fingers towards such truths. The family was well educated. If such families have to fall prey to ending lives seeking divine powers, it shows that people still live in the illusion of superstition.
Television channels broadcast programmes relating to paranormal techniques or such practices for higher TRP. They also evoke fear and sense of uncertainty among people. Faith is different from blind belief in superstition. But here, both seem to have been mixed up. This incident has taken place owing to those who thought they’d make everything work to save them. Unfortunately, that hasn’t happened.
Everyone including media, politicians and industrialists are guilty of perpetuating this belief. They keep following false gods to fulfil their greed, and this mislead innocent people. Agents of superstition such as black magic and voodoo practitioners, self proclaimed gods, vaastu experts and other perpetuate such unsubstantiated beliefs. For them, it is mere business. But for people, it is the only lifeline they hang from.
Faith in god should save us, instead of finishing us off. Such beliefs never take us to god. In such cases, it is better being an atheist than a believer. Today, government is directly involved in propagating such beliefs. Every politician follows a swamiji who dictates his life like a remote controller.
All their faith is to clinch power during this lifetime, and not for some spiritual realization. This could be the failure of our education system too that it couldn’t create awareness. The incident in north Delhi is a testimony of this. Our education couldn’t convince people that their search of Jihad is similar to this and it does not lead to heaven at all. While we speak against Jihadis, we also need to address this issue of blackmagic through the language of law.
In the recent times, a lady had severed her tongue to earn the affection of her goddess. One would wonder who gave her this impression that her god would be pleased with this. If those people are not punished, their numbers will increase with passing time. Though a war has been waged against superstition, intellectuals didn’t invest themselves in this to ensure it was implemented. The government isn’t willing to admit self proclaimed babas harm the image of this country more than anything else because government is caught in their web.
In another incident, five people have been beaten to death by mobs which assumed they were child traffickers. This happened in Dhule in Maharashtra. While people are unabatedly engaging themselves in such rumour based crime, assumed to be a ‘quasi government’ by themselves, gau rakshaks have also ruined things for worse. They work like police force with no hesitation of being caught doing wrong. They are responsible for new found appetite for human blood powered by technology. A lot of people have died owing to this and even more lives would be lost soon. Gau rakshaks work as an inspiration to many what with their power structure and privileges they enjoy.
These assaults cleverly employ the loopholes in legal system to carry out with their lynching. Most of the times, it is their communal feeling that pushes them into such behaviour. Most of the migrant laborers have been victims of their sporadic violence and they are usually dalits. The mobs know killing someone in a group can help them escape punishment. While superstition is claiming lives, on the other, communal forces are killing people by giving their verdict by spreading rumours and egging people on through unsubstantiated whatsapp forwards that have ended many lives by now. If central home minister prefers to maintain silence and not open his mouth to condemn it, even cops may lose their lives at the hands of such vilified forces.

Donald Trump sends Diwali greetings, condemns attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh
Washington, Oct 31: Sending Diwali greetings, former president Donald Trump, who is the Republican presidential candidate, on Thursday condemned the attack on Hindus in Bangladesh, vowed to strengthen ties with India and described Prime Minister Narendra Modi as his good friend.
Bangladesh, he said, remains in a total state of chaos and alleged that his Democratic rival Vice President Kamala Harris and her boss President Joe Biden have ignored Hindus across the world and in America.
“I strongly condemn the barbaric violence against Hindus, Christians, and other minorities who are getting attacked and looted by mobs in Bangladesh, which remains in a total state of chaos,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
This is for the first time that Trump has spoken on the issue of Bangladesh. Hundreds of Hindus were killed in July-August in Bangladesh when a students’ agitation turned into massive protests leading to then prime minister Sheikh Hasina to flee the country on August 5.
“It would have never happened on my watch. Kamala and Joe have ignored Hindus across the world and in America. They have been a disaster from Israel to Ukraine to our own Southern Border, but we will Make America Strong Again and bring back Peace through Strength,” he said.
“We will also protect Hindu Americans against the anti-religion agenda of the radical left. We will fight for your freedom. Under my administration, we will also strengthen our great partnership with India and my good friend, Prime Minister Modi,” Trump said.
“Kamala Harris will destroy your small businesses with more regulations and higher taxes. By contrast, I cut taxes, cut regulations, unleashed American energy, and built the greatest economy in history. We will do it again, bigger and better than ever before and we will Make America Great Again,” he said.
“Also, Happy Diwali to All. I hope the Festival of Lights leads to the Victory of Good over Evil,” said the former president, who is in a close fight with Harris for the November 5 presidential elections.
