Black Magic bill 2006: A Draconian Law Targeting Hindu Faith !

[Guest guest]

Sub: Open letter of Appeal for urgent support to all

devout/religious/theistic Indians against the Black Magic Bill :

2006, a draconian law targeting faith and theism.

 

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

The Government of Maharashtra is out to create history by enforcing

a "revolutionary" law upon all devout / religious / theistic

citizens of Maharashtra State. Having been entitled the sweet name

of "Eradication of Black Magic and Aghori Practices Bill 2006", the

proposed law is on the verge of being passed in the upper house of

the State Assembly, which begins on the 13th March 2006. This Law

criminalizes any kind of faith.

 

Some of the clauses within this law are so arguable and generalist

that it makes them totally dependent upon the implementing Police

Officer to decide their meaning. Some of the deep implications of

the clauses included in this law would mean that all Religious

literature like the Vedic Scriptures, Upanishads, 18 Puranas,

Biographies of Saints, the Christian Bible and the Quran of Islam

would be henceforth questioned for their correctness on basis of

modern science and thus banned. This makes the law "anti-faith" and

moresoever likely to be misused in majority of the cases especially

against Hindus.

 

The Police would have many more uncontrolled powers. Though the name

of the bill suggests that it is intended to eradicate Black Magic,

it is not true. Many legal experts have clarified that under the

name of black magic, this law could actually threaten Faith in God

and any Divine power.

 

Most importantly, all the crimes listed under this law have already

been covered under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

The very identification of the need for this law or the motive

behind it is highly suspicious. The details of this proposed law had

been kept a secret by the Government and all kinds of dicussions and

debates even in the Parliament were curbed by the Government on the

basis of majority. All this leads to arousal of suspicion in the

Government's motive.

 

In short as you can see above, the law would enforce "Scientific

Authority" upon Religious or Spiritual Scriptures and beliefs of the

theists and make them disbelieve in their own faith. Absolutely

scientific talibanism in the true sense!

"We are talking about a law in India that is to forbid any practices

of black magic and aghora as well.

 

Crimes have been conducted in the name of black magic and satanism,

just like crimes have been triggered by politicians who have misused

major religions such as catholicism and islam. I believe that anyone

who misuses an idea and hurts the universal laws of democracy and the

humand rights should be punished. But to forbid the belief in a

certain ideological system without any particular reason is a fact

worth of wonder. Can you set a limit to a mind? Can you censor my

thoughts? And how will you do it?

 

My questions are:

 

- How will the government of India define the term Black Magic? How

will it define the practices of Black Magic that are on their greatest

part purely mental and psychic?

- Aghora meaning the fifth face of Shiva, is a great part of the

Indian Philosophy, Tradition and Mythology. How can it erase such

important parts of the past great indian civilization due to an

unknown, inexplicable and unreasonable fear?

- How will the prohibition of all "evil" practices prevent real black

magicians from carrying forth their work?

- Doesnt the Indian Government have more important issues to attend to

than creating questionable mechanisms of public misuse?"

The Indian Govt is reading too many Harry Potter novels! Most of these

self confessed "Tantriks" use parlor tricks to scare innocent people-

and as such can be arrested under any number of existing laws.

 

Real Tantra is the scientific study of the universe- done with

Scientific laws that common people may not understand or fear- like

they would fear a scientist wearing a lab coat and working with smelly

chemicals. Of course the Scientist may be builing an atom bomb, so

will you ban all scientists then?

 

But as Harry potter fans know, real Black Magicians can do magic to

not be caught or seen. So who will they catch?

Hi,

 

you are absolutely right. I expect this whole law to fail and the

organisations of human rights to respond sooner or later.
