Superstition

 Namrata is very fond of school and studies. But due to an addicted father and poverty at home, she entered school late. So she was admitted, as a rule, out of the school. Namrata had to stay at home to take care of her younger siblings when her mother went to the farm for work.. Namrata's grandmother came to visit her at school. Talking to her, it was revealed that she is Namrata's mother's aunt. As Namrata's grandmother died early, the maternal aunt took care of Namrata's mother and her siblings. To add to this, Namrata's father was an addict, and her grandmother used to take care of Namrata and her three siblings. The bad luck did not end here; Namrata's mother is also very ill. So Namrata cannot come to school for some days. Namrata's grandmother was very sad to see the miserable state of her granddaughter. As Namrata's mother was admitted to a government hospital, she was at home for a long time. One day, her maternal grandmother came to take Namrata home. I inquired about the health of Namrata's mother, who was near her. "Madam, bring her home. But still, she is not feeling well. Like leg pain and dizziness." Grandma said. On further questioning, it was realized that her mother was suffering from anemia. Anemia is a major disease found in rural and tribal women in India. Due to a lack of a healthy diet, neglect of health, and early marriage, this disease is found in thousands of women. The doctor advised having a healthy diet. Namrata's grandmother was crying. After her sister's untimely death, she took care of her children. Namrata's grandmother's eyes filled with tears while telling. It was very sad to hear all this. After talking to Sir, he gave 500 rupees to Namrata's grandmother and gave detailed information about a healthy diet. ' "This money is only for Namrata's mother. So only spend for her health." I warned her. After a few days, I came to know that Namrata's grandmother had called a tantrik and performed pooja. I went to Namrata's house and asked her grandmother. "Madam, there is a very heavy spell. She felt better immediately. Her legs used to hurt but stopped." What can I say about that? Later, it came to light that to pay the  tantrika 2000 rupees, she took some things from the house and mortgaged them to her neighbour. In short, the money I paid was not spent on Namrata's mother's food, but the Tantrik took it. Tragically, her mother died eight days after that incident. . My student, Jyoti, had anemia. Her mother, however, was being DHAGA in by the tantrik. Rupali's father had AIDS. Her grandmother kept on worshiping her son, saying that's when God Khandoba came into his body. As a result, Rupali lost her father. Meena's father stopped her education, saying that she has a goddess inside her body. During the Navratri festival, the people of her abode used to fall at her feet and worship her. As a child, Meena used to enjoy herself. She got married at the age of 13 and had a baby. There are many such examples of superstitions, with innocent souls falling victim to them. We can give them education, but when will the fountain of knowledge reach them?
