News India Live, Digital Desk: HI often say that the world is changing, technology is skyrocketing, but when such news comes from areas like Khunti in Jharkhand, all the claims seem hollow. Here humanity has once again lost and that old, rotten superstition, which we call ‘witchcraft’, has won. The murder of a minor child in Khunti district is not just a crime, but a stigma on our society which will not be erased easily.
Yamraj becomes suspicious: What is the whole matter?
Imagine what would have happened to that child who might not even know exactly what “black magic” or “Bisahi” is. According to the news, in a village in Khunti, some people took the life of a laughing child just on the basis of suspicion. They were under the impression that this child practiced witchcraft. Just imagine, a minor child and witchcraft? This very thing cannot be accepted. But when the blindfold of superstition is tied over the eyes, a person cannot see innocence.
Fear and silence in Khunti
After the incident, there is an atmosphere of mourning and fear in the entire area. At the age when a child should have had books and toys in his hands, his life was brutally taken away. The local police have registered the case and started investigation and the body has been sent for post-mortem. The law will take its course and the accused will be caught, but who will return the lives that were lost?
This is not just murder, it is a question on society
In many areas of Jharkhand, murders in the name of witchcraft or witchcraft are not stopping even today. Often the elderly or women were targeted, but now even children are not being spared. This incident is enough to shake us that in which direction are we going? Is the lack of education and awareness still so deep that we have become enemies of our own children?
