The Karnataka government is planning to introduce a bill against superstition - the Karnataka Prevention of Superstitious Practices Bill 2013 - in the next legislature session. Karnataka, like elsewhere in India, has its share of superstitious practices that can be dangerous - like the throwing of babies off the roof of a temple in north Karnataka. Or controversial - like the Made snana ritual at the famous Kukke Subramanya temple that has people rolling on food left over by Brahmins.
