Two gunmen riding a motorcycle fired four shots at Narendra Dabholkar, who was out for a morning walk, from close range as the rider slowed behind him on a bridge near the Omkareshwar temple in Pune. A passerby noted the vehicle's number, but the killers have not yet been identified. Six years ago. What did Dabholkar do? He campaigned against superstition. The killers and their sponsors believe his campaigns were against Hinduism. But for a moment, think. Among other things Dabholkar and his organization objected to godmen performing miracles and claiming to summon spirits. They offered a reward of 500,000 rupees to anyone claiming to be a spiritual diviner who could successfully summon spirits. There was similar reward for astrologers if they could look at ten horoscopes and predict their sex and if they were still alive. None have so far claimed these rewards. Now tell me, those who believe in Hinduism, is Hinduism about these babas claiming miracles? If not, you should be standing with Dabholkar against these fraud babas. He rescued so many people from rural Maharashtra from clutch of superstition. He also campaigned against Muslim babas and superstition in Jainism. You need to reclaim your religion from people who killed Dabholkar - if left to them people will think Hinduism is all but superstitious. As Dabholkar would say, will you please think?
