Demand for legislation against black magic in Kerala: Bill made but not introduced in the assembly

Kidnapped two women, tantric worshiped and sacrificed. The dead body was cut into several pieces and buried in the pits. One was murdered on 26 September and the other on 6 June. All this happened in Kerala, which is called the most literate state in the country. The situation of growing superstition in the most educated state is so frightening that the demand for the law has started rising against it.
Bill was made 3 years ago in 2019, but it was not even introduced in the assembly. It had provisions to stop black magic and human sacrifice. Social workers are also demanding the law.
Kerala Law Reform Commission Deputy Chairman K Sasidharan Nair says there is an urgent need to enact a law. The same commission drafted this law and submitted it to the government. The government is trying to avoid this by considering it a religious matter. The government feels that by enacting a law on this, the matter will take a religious footing. In fact, the problem is that the government is unable to define which religious activities and processes are considered superstition and which are not.
The Home Department of Kerala declined to comment on the bill. The government is also silent on this bill. Even the websites of KLRC and the Law Department did not update any information about this bill. B Ramesh, president of the Kerala Sastra Sahitya Parishad, says the matter is sensitive. That's why the government wants to avoid it. Even this bill, he says, does not provide any solution to the real problem. Along with the provision of punishment, awareness is also needed. People are literate, they need to be educated.
The Kerala Prevention of Eradication of Human Evil Practice, Sorcery and Black Magic Bill has been prepared on the lines of Karnataka and Maharashtra. There is a provision of imprisonment of 1 to 7 years and a fine of 5 thousand to 50 thousand rupees in this. In this, provisions have been fixed against those traditions, in which there is any kind of physical harm.
8 cases of human sacrifice have been registered in Kerala since independence. Last year the mother sacrificed her own child. In 2004, the child's arms and legs were amputated. In 1996, the couple sacrificed a 6-year-old girl in the desire of a child. In 1983, the mother-son tried to sacrifice the teacher. The child was sacrificed in 1973. In 1956 at Guruvayur, Krishnan slit the throat of his friend for a sick elephant. He said in court, the elephant is a big animal. Human small. There is no point in a human being alive when the elephant is dying. In 1955, the teenager was strangled to death.
