ReplyDeleteIn India, especially in the villages, there are innumerable beliefs and superstitions that govern every aspect of life from birth to death. Many literate people exploit the ignorance of the villagers to their own advantage but sometimes are at a loss for words when they engage with problems that have no ready made solutions. They prefer to operate from a closed mindset accounting their belief system as being influenced by their ancestors.
Some common superstitions in India and in other parts of the world as well:
