the superstitious can propose better bills than this. The folly of mistaking a paradox for a discovery, a metaphor for a proof, a torrent of verbiage for a spring of capital truths, and oneself for an oracle, is inborn in us.- Paul Valery | ||

konni points foolish ga unnayi. like.. 1. to claim possession of supernatural powers and to advertise this claim. idi ela prove chestaru? 2. to defame, disgrace the names of erstwhile Saints/ Gods, by claiming to be there reincarnation and thus cheating the gullible and God-fearing simple folks. ante India lo no more saints ana.. leka erstwhile saints real ana? adi kooda blindfaith ye kada.. 3. to sell or deal in so-called magic stones, talisman, bracelets, charms. Idi kooda kontha mandiki work avvachu.. kontha mandiki ledu.. If they put a ban on this, then there should be a ban on all cosmetic products ilanti chala unnayi. better things like that should be left to ppl's belief. but any acts of violence, anti human or exploitation by force should be prosecuted. | ||

Anti-Superstition Bill is quite interesting to read. Few years back varaku i would have preferred such a bill, but now i feel bills/laws should protect rights, but not sentiments. Of course this is a tragedy, and he rightly deserves to be respected. He did great service to a lot of people. the world of appearances may or may not be real, or both may and may not be real - or may be indescribable; or may be real and indescribable, or unreal and indescribable; or in the end may be read and unreal and indescribable - its all Syadvada | ||

Renowned rationalist Narendra Dabholkar shot dead in Pune Edited by Deepshikha Ghosh | Updated: August 20, 2013 19:29 IST Anti-superstition activist Narendra Dabholkar was shot dead in Pune today Pune: Renowned rationalist Narendra Dabholkar, who fought for a law against superstition and black magic, was shot dead this morning in Pune in Maharashtra, an incident which sparked grief and outrage in the city and his hometown Satara. The 70-year-old was on his morning walk when he was shot near the Omkareshwar Bridge in the city by gunmen on a motorcycle. The police said four shots were fired at him at close range, two of which hit him in the back of his head. Narendra_Dhabolkar_killers_sketch_295.jpgThe police have released the sketch of the suspect, believed to be around 25 years old. In Dr Dabholkar's hometown Satara, thousands came out on the streets to pay tribute to a man loved and respected for his campaign against superstition and self-appointed godmen. Political parties also announced a shutdown in Pune on Wednesday. All autorickshaws will stay off the roads. Announcing Rs. 10 lakh for any information on the murder, the Maharashtra government called it a planned killing and slammed the police for failing to protect the senior activist. "The incident is a blot on the state police and the government," said Maharashtra's Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar. Dr Dabholkar's murder comes days after the Maharashtra government assured that it would introduce the anti-superstition Bill - opposed by many rightwing groups as "anti-Hindu." It was his campaign that led the state government to draft the Bill. "The investigation has been handed over to the Pune crime branch," said Maharashtra Home Minister RR Patil. "It is serious and I appeal to the people to keep calm." A reputed rationalist known for his campaigns against superstition, Dr Dabholkar had for many years pushed for an anti-superstition Bill in the state assembly. He had also authored several books and was the editor of the "Sadhana" magazine devoted to promoting progressive and critical thinking. |
