India from Superstitions to superpower_ _?

In the Traditional country like India it is difficult to separate term “superstitions” from the list of belief’s the Indian people are following. As India’s 70% population’s residence lies in the village all blindly believe in the superstitions. The people living in the village are having blind faith in superstitions. Moreover there are varieties found in superstitions. So for my working on theme I took the topic “Superstitions” because firstly as we were going to village for my field work so it was confirm that I would come in front of many information on it and secondly people as they are believing and they are believing it because they are expressing that they have experienced many critical circumstances as they have ignored it sometimes.

Superstitions also impacts on the social life of village. We can see that people are slowly adopting it as a part of traditions to which we say in Hindi “Shagun and Upshagun” so superstitions are also creating impact on social life not only on village but also in City life also. I had visited Kuldhi village of dediapada taluka of Narmada district for studying and working on my theme “Superstitions”. As they are living in village they believe in ghost and human sole. This was not new for me to know as in city also I had heard many talk’s about it. They have some unique image of it in their mind. In opposite of this there’s also a magical/Devotional power which is protecting village people from it and this power is with a single men in whole village and he make’s certain limit around the village for precaution.

 There’s also another important term that I would like to introduce that is “Spiritual Superstitions” that means people believing in superstitions that is connected to spirituality. Let me give example of people believing the entrance of goddess in the human body. The symptoms of these superstitions are that a human body starts to shake very fastly and also start harming itself. The sole inside the body is not conscious during such situations. I don’t believe so because if there is any entrance of any spiritual power inside a body then what about that sole that is already present in that body right through birth because in a single body two sole can never stay. But I don’t know whether they are any real spiritual power behind it or they all just do as a fake. I don’t know more about their spiritual power but as we believe in god we are following this “Spiritual Superstitions”.

This beliefs of Superstitions are mainly spread by parents to their children right from their childhood by narrating story of ghost or based on the same topic some real incidence that had took place in their presence they narrate it to their child during sleeping time and also during their time when they want to stop their child from going away. So mainly from childhood the mindset builds up in their mind that there is existence of all this meaningless things and for the village people they believe it because they do not think more on this as they are less educated and mostly illiterate and so they accept it and follows it. I think they should be made aware about the reality that there is no existence of any superstitions and they should also be made aware how it is creating impact on social life.

That's all about Superb Superstitions. I think India is on the path to become Super power but not Superstitions so leave it back to old society....
