Of superstitions, a martyr and a Bill…

Narendra Dabholkar became a martyr for a  reason when he was shot dead by unknown assailants   on 20-Aug-2013. The 68 year old rationalist had been fighting against superstitions  for major part of  his life. His single-minded devotion to the cause had earned him many enemies. He had been twice attacked violently in 1990′s. While there are many areas were one can and have to disagree with the warrior of rationalism, none can deny his sincerity and commitment. He had striven all his life  for a healthier, stronger Hindu society in his own way. The crime against this voice of reason is a blot on the culture and society. We all need to condemn it in one strong voice.
