The murder of renowned Rationalist and Anti-superstition crusader Mr. Narendra Dabholkar has led us to think that what kind of society are we living in? In 1946, Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru in his book, The Discovery of India, urged the people of our country to develop scientific temper but even after 75 years of Independence people are being killed in the name of superstitions which includes witch- hunting and Black magic. Many states have enacted independent legislations but still this crime has not stopped but is increasing on daily basis. Discrimination based on casteism, ethnicity and gender, disseminated based on irrational beliefs and superstitions is widespread in the Country. Superstitions have often been associated with religion and in a plural society like India we must respect the religious beliefs and sentiments of people living around us. However, we need to draw a line somewhere that is why we need a Central legislation against superstition and it is the duty of every individual of the society to develop Scientific temper.
