They are superstitious (religious), so it's no surprise.

Educated people who believe in superstition aren't likely to do this. Tribals are. Actually, most educated in India dont believe in witchcraft anyhow.

In the USA you would be surprised how many Christians still do. Especially in my area the South!

Actually, most educated in India dont believe in witchcraft anyhow.It is unfortunate, but educated Indians believe in astrology, palmistry, omens, ghosts, exorcists, voodoo (Indian variety), spells, horoscopes, and even sacrifice.

Godmen aided by politicians and police engage in money laundering. They are partners in sexual crimes. Shameful but true.
