Education system itself encouraging superstitions'

August 12, 2012

Mangalore, August 12: Superstition is being encouraged through education system itself, Dr. Bhoomi Gowda, Lecturer, St Agnes College said.


He was speaking at the valedictory programme of the state level workshop on scientific campaign against 'Banamati' in Mangalore on Sunday.


Education system is supposed to be shaped in a way that it develops scientific temper among students. But certain portions of the syllabus being taught in schools, colleges and universities are encouraging superstitions, he said. Our education system is yet to go beyond the mugging up method, he added.


Stating that religious ideologies are being implemented in syllabuses, Dr. Gowda said that it has contributed in increasing religious intolerance among students.


Recalling that an attempt to include astrology and related disciplines in Post Graduate studies was made by the BJP led central government in the past, Dr. Gowda said that if intellectuals continue to remain unorganized, such attempts are likely to be made again.


Condemning the practice of 'Made Snana' in temples, Dr. Gowda said that Mutts are factories where superstitions are generated. The clergy class ensures that newer superstitions are introduced so that the tradition of suppressing of lower classes continues, he said.
