Dhavan: on superstitious beliefs- I personally believe they are protected subject to what Justice Amanullah said that if there is an external manifestation of it, like witchcraft or prostitution, that certainly is not a part of superstition. the reason why superstition has to be recognised is because all religions will disappear if you subject them to logic of scientific discovery.

the test of scientific discovery is given by Karl Popper's verifiability. Can you verify if god exists? Can you verify if you have his diksha?

therefore, superstitious belief has to be accepted across the board.
