Why is an Anti-Superstition Law Not Implemented in Punjab?

A large section of Indian society, whether educated or uneducated, rural or urban, continues to be trapped in superstitions due to a lack of scientific temperament.

Many people fall prey to fraudulent godmen, astrologers, and tantriks who exploit their fears and desires under the guise of divine power. These frauds deceive people with superstitious beliefs related to ghosts, black magic, planetary influences, and past-life karma while engaging in financial, physical, and psychological exploitation.

The booming business of such fraudsters thrives due to the nexus between the government, corrupt politicians, and high-ranking police officials. The deep-rooted superstition in society is fueled by economic, social, and psychological factors. However, the government's corporate-driven policies, poor education, and lack of healthcare facilities are equally responsible. Instead of encouraging scientific reasoning and critical thinking, our education system promotes fatalism, religious dogma, and blind faith. It is a matter of concern that Punjab, like its ongoing drug and extortion problems, is also plagued by the multi-billion-dollar fraud industry of godmen and deras (religious cults). Shockingly, no vigilance, ED, income tax, or CBI investigation has ever cracked down on these fraudulent religious leaders and their illegal wealth.
