It is a commendable move by Kerala government to bring out an anti-superstition legislation intended to curb cruel practices held in the name of religion. Uncivilized and cruel practices of piercing of spears in body parts, hanging on cross for a day, taking children for fierce exercise etc to be immediately cramped.
A clear demarcation between superstition and faith is not at all possible; however cruelty in the name of superstition should be stopped. Recurrence of tragic sorcery cases, killing lambs and chicks on false notion and denying medicine to ailing people because of faith, etc to be looked into. The anti-superstition legislation can cut back such illegal acts to some extent, no doubt.
