  • Exigency of Intellectuality and Pragmatic Reasoning Against Credulity
    © 2019 JETIR May 2019, Volume 6, Issue 5 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) EXIGENCY OF INTELLECTUALITY AND PRAGMATIC REASONING AGAINST CREDULITY. (COUNTERFEIT PROPHECY, SUPERSTITION, ASTROLOGY AND VIGILANT GLOBE) Bhaskar Bhuyan India, State- Assam, Dist- Lakhimpur, Pin-787023 ABSTRACT Along with advancement and technology, still some parts of the globe are greatly affected by fake beliefs. Future is unpredictable and black magic is superstition. Necessity lies in working for future rather than knowing it. Lack of intelligence is detrimental for a society. Astrology is not a science, Astronomy is science. Astrologers predict by the influence of planets and they create a psychological game. In other words they establish a perfect marketing and affect the life of an individual in every possible way. Superstition is still ruling and it is degrading the development. Key words: Superstition, Astrology and black magic. 1.0 INTRODUCTION: The globe is still not equally equipped with development, advancement and intellectuality. Some 5000 years ago, superstition started to merge out from the ancient Europe and got spread to entire Globe. Countries like China, Greece, India, United Kingdom, Japan, Thailand, Ireland, Italy, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal etc are influenced by black magic, superstition, astrology and fake Beliefs. Almost 98 countries out of 195 are affected by credulity. Orating the scenario of ancient time and comparing it with the present arena, it is still not degraded. The roots of this belief starts from the village and gets spread socially due to migration and social media across the entire district, state and country. 2.0 SUPERSITION IN VARIOUS COUNTRIES: 2.1 JAPAN: 1.

  • 5. the Other Side of Freedom of Religion in India
    2015 (2) Elen. L R 5. THE OTHER SIDE OF FREEDOM OF RELIGION IN INDIA Vipin Das R V1 Introduction Freedom of religion is considered as the precious possession of every individual from the inception of mankind (Harold E., 2002).2 Every modern nation in the world, in their Constitutions, clearly establishes the right to freedom of religion, belief, faith, thought, and expression of all these freedoms to all its citizens. Many a time, these expressions and practices attributed to religions, faith and beliefs become blind. Citizens or the people following such blind belief and faith on religion and practising so-called religious activities infringes forcefully the human right of others to live with dignity and status. The recent news and reports from print and television media reveals the truth that exploitations in the name of black magic are on the rise in Kerala as well as in India.3 Superstition- General meaning. The term „Superstition‟ is a complex term having no clear definition. In practical sense superstition is an elastic term which could be at once narrowly defined to exclude individual practice and also can be stretched to include a wide spectrum of beliefs, rites, 1 Research Scholar, NUALS.

    The International Journal of Indian Psychology ISSN 2348-5396 (e) | ISSN: 2349-3429 (p) Volume 3, Issue 4, No. 60, DIP: 18.01.094/20160304 ISBN: 978-1-365-26308-8 http://www.ijip.in | July-September, 2016 Prevalence of Superstitious Belief among the (ST) Scheduled Tribe Students of Nalbari District Dr Mallika Kalita1* ABSTRACT Present study has been undertaken by the investigator among the Scheduled Tribe students of Nalbari district in the state of Assam to identify their different types of superstitious behaviour. Two null hypotheses have been formulated in the present paper – firstly, there is no significant difference between Male and Female ST Students towards superstitious beliefs and secondly, there is no significant difference between graduate and Post- Graduate students towards superstitious beliefs. Total 80 students sample has been selected for testing the hypotheses. No significant difference between Male and Female towards superstitious beliefs was found and in case of 2nd hypothesis also no significant difference between graduate and Post- Graduate students towards superstitious beliefs was observed. Further, in the present paper, the investigator has tried to draw attention of all kinds of educated people towards the harmful effects of superstitions in the society and put forward suggestions to make a society free from social evils due to superstition in India. Keywords: Superstition, ST, Education, Nalbari Superstition refers to one kind of belief in something which is not justified by reason, scientific attitude or evidence. Dictionary meaning of superstition is nothing but to believe in something blindly without any verification. In most of the cases, insecurity makes a person vulnerable to unjust beliefs or superstitions.

    © 2018 JETIR September 2018, Volume 5, Issue 9 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) Witch Hunting in India: Violence through Superstitious Beliefs. 1Twinkle J Chadwa 1Student 13rd year BA LLB, 1School of Law CHRIST (Deemed to be University), Bangalore, India. Abstract : Violence against women is rife and is an undimmed violation of human rights within the realm. Existence of gender based violence is a centuries old phenomena, one such form of violence is Witch Hunting. An evil customary practice which exists in the society that questions the individuality and devours the dignity of women accused of the same. It is disguised under the mask of superstition and is boosted by fear, this practice tend to spread throughout India like wildfire. This research paper aims to explore the female gender based discrimination faced in an opulent and multifarious society like India, where customs and traditions are an integral part of this nation but in the name of conventional practices people tend to forget it is not consuetude. An emerging social stigma here is the practice of Witch Hunting. This practice evolved from the European era and its deep roots to be commonly found among the socially and educationally backward tribes in India. It draws a thin line between superstition and religion. This makes it callous for elimination of the practice of witch hunting. Women are labelled as witches and in return the torture faced by them is in form of physical and mental violence. The fundamental concept of Human Rights is to ensure that every citizen has the right to lead a life with dignity.

  • HSBC Money Laundering Case: “Too Big to Fail” Does Not Mean “Too Big to Jail”
    HSBC Money Laundering Case: “Too Big To Fail” does not mean “Too Big to Jail” September 24th, 2013 by Kara in Case Studies The Problem Some banking institutions have become so large criminal prosecutions resulting in revocation of banking charters may negatively affect the national, and perhaps the global, economy. The U.S. Attorney General and other prosecutors are thus left with a moral dilemma: ensure justice through prosecution or forego criminal proceedings to protect the economy and society at large. HSBC and Money Laundering In December 2012, multinational banking institution HSBC was penalized a record $1.92 billion by the United States for violating laws designed to prevent money laundering and other illegal financial activity. HSBC was under consistent suspicion and twice given warnings and orders to strengthen its anti-money laundering programs by the U.S. between 2003 and 2010 but failed to make the proper adjustments. The $1.92 billion penalty, issued under the Bank Secrecy Act, was handed down after a report and subsequent investigation that confirmed the bank had set up offshore accounts for drug cartels and suspected criminals in Jersey. HSBC banking executives admitted to laundering as much as $881 billion dollars. Players HSBC North American Holdings, Inc.: parent company of HSBC Group, one of the world’s largest banking and financial services groups. HSBC has more than 6900 offices in over 80 countries. HSBC Bank USA: federally chartered subsidiary of HSBC North American Holdings, Inc.; headquartered in McLean, Virginia with its principal offices in New York City.

    LUX MONTIS Vol 7 No.2 July 2019 BAMA’S KARUKKU AS A TESTIMONY OF THE TRIPLE JEOPARDISED ANGELA TERESA KALLOLI A SSI . P ROF . C HRIST COLLEGE M YSORE SYNOPSIS An autobiography is distinguished from a testimony in that the former is merely talking about the events in life while the latter is written with a purpose. Bama has woven the two together making her work into a testimonial autobiography. She was a victim of the triple jeopardy of being a woman belonging to an untouchable caste and a member of a religious minority group. When Bama speaks as the representative of the subaltern community, Karukku becomes the testimony which depicts not only her life but also the life of the Dalit community to which she belongs. Testimonial literature gains prominence when there is an urgency to communicate a problem of poverty, subalternity, imprisonment, struggle for survival, and so on. Bama’s unusual way of writing her autobiography demands the immediate response and attention from the readers. Key Words Casteist Oppression, Untouchables, Disillusionment, Religious Intolerance, Dalits Bama is a celebrated Dalit woman writer in Tamil whose works have been translated into English, French and several other regional languages for that pristinely rural taste every reader experiences as he or she goes through the pages of her books. Born as Faustina Mary Fathima Rani in Puthupatty village, near Madurai, in 1958, she assumed the pen name Bama and published her debut autobiographical work Karukku in 1992. Two more novels Sangati and Vanmam were published in 1994 and 2002, respectively. Her short stories Kusumbukkaran (1996), Oru Thathavum Erumayum (2004) and Kondattam (2006) smack of that original native flavour.
