“ It is essential that the people should be made to understand that we live in a technologically advanced world. Our thinking should be rational and logical. That is what our Constitution teaches as to develop scientific temper among the people. B. R. Ambedkar vehemently believed and followed it till his last breath. Every Indian should believe to make it part of our daily life that we should all stop believing in superstitions”, she asserted.

Besides, a noted myth buster, Hulikal Nagaraj would be attending the event where he would be showing some of the tricks so-called ‘magicians’ and ‘Godmen’ how they hoodwink the people.
