00:00India is witnessing what you can call as English-educated superstition that's happening since last 10-20 years now.
00:08Mostly in the last 8-10 years.
00:10Because the political conditions have become very conducive for superstition to prosper.
00:15How?
00:16Because the political ideology says culture is everything and superstition is a part of our ancient culture.
00:23So superstition is great.
00:25The political ideology is not talking really of spirituality.
00:29It is talking only of culture.
00:31Hence you have rise of godmen over the last 10 years who specialize in superstition.
00:38Half their talks and discourses are about the other world.
00:43What happens in death, after death.
00:46How many kinds of disembodied beings are there.
00:50And all this is gaining both traction and market.
00:54This is a very very tragic development.
