Such type of fanatic incidents show that still we are suffered from ill-delusions and seek that God will solve our miseries. It also reveals the gloomy side of India that we have witnessed an unequal development of country over the last few years. Some states are touching 100% percent literacy rate and for some states, it is still a distant dream. Merely good education can enlighten the lives of such people, who are still living in the pre-historic era and think the God can bring prosperity in their lives. We (young educates) can also remove these misconceptions by educating these people on our level.
