don´t know how many people suffer from actual witchcraft or black
magic. Not too many because nowaday there are few people who have the
necessary siddhis to actually harm someone.
But i do know that there are a lot of innocent people who suffer from
being accused to work black magic on others.
But there are many who imagine to be victims of black magic who
themselves endanger innocent people, these people only pretend or
believe to be victims they are most often mentally disturbed and in
fact perpetrators not victims.
I am not writing this because i do not believe in witchcraft or black
magic, on the contrary, i am writing this because of a profound
knowledge of this subject.
Very few people are aware that accusing others of witchcraft is a
very dark and evil act and can have most dire conesquences for the
accused.
"Witch hunting is a huge issue in the eastern states of India, such
as Bihar, Jharkhand, Chattisgarh, Orissa and the neighboring areas of
Maharashtra, which have large tribal populations with traditional
beliefs about witches. Indian newspapers periodically publish reports
about women who, after being accused of witchcraft, have been beaten
to death, had their houses expropriated, their heads shaved or had
strings of shoes hung around their necks. Yet, nothing seems to stop
these abuses. Not even the pressure of NGOs, such as the Free Legal
Aid Committee (FLAC),based in Jamshedpur (the steel city of
Jharkhand) whose efforts prompted one state –Jharkhand- to pass an
Anti-Witch Hunting Act in 1999, has fully eradicated the problem. In
the last 15 years, more than 2500 Indian women have been killed in
the name of witchcraft. According to FLAC, 670 of these women were
murdered between 2004 and 2005."
Arpita Sutradhar article I witnessed a witch hunt.
Please think twice before you give advice to victims of witchcraft on
the net, one should not enforce suspicions and question allegations,
otherwise one might unknowingly become part of the cause of severe
injustice being done to innocents.
Do i need to emphasize that if i say "innocents" i am not talking
about the alleged victims of black magic?
