Children half-buried in Karnataka during Solar Eclipse out of superstitious belief
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. On Thursday, a shocking incident took place in Karnataka where three specially-abled children were partially buried in sand due to superstitious belief in Kalaburagi.
The fallacy of people at Taj Sultanpur in Kalaburagi led them to commit some unethical acts.
Ahead of the annular Solar eclipse today, the couple had the old wives' tale that if they half bury their children who were specially-abled, they will be cured and the sin on their family would be 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?
