Bengaluru, Dec 26: Though India has reached the far-sight of the moon with Chandrayaan 2 still a few sections of people in the society still believe in superstitions.

The fallacy of people at Taj Sultanpur in Kalaburagi led them to commit some unethical acts.

On Thursday, a video clip showed that a family partially buried the children for hours in the dirt, the children were seen scared and weeping and one of the ladies among the two ladies sitting beside them was wiping one of the infants who were half-buried.

The lady the parents waited till the eclipse was over.

According to science, the physical cure has no association with eclipse, yet we witness such irrational incidences like this happening over and over again in our country.
Does, lack of education in remote places leads to such fallacy?
