Lawyers Collective

Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: The gruesome murder of Dabolkar, who had been spearheading a movement against superstitions in Maharashtra, has plunged all people of rationalist disposition in shock. Voices are rising that laws should be put in place to prevent the country from being reduced to an assembly of dim wits. A law had been enacted in Maharashtra providing protection to persons campaigning against superstitions.
