The Sangeeta Persaud case is a very sad and troubling one. Why some people insists on performing what they consider to be exorcisms in this enlightened day and age is beyond the realm of human comprehension.
These people should be put away who performed these clearly unwise acts on this young woman, for criminal negligence or something of the sort. I believe strict action is called for here and hopefully the investigation launched by the Health Ministry will unearth some evidence that will serve in achieving this.
We can only hope and pray that others who insist on these forms of treatment will learn from this and seize these practices. These acts should be considered illegal, religion should not come into play here at all, rather these people need to act responsibly and allow trained professionals to carry out their work, instead of trying to play God with the lives of our people.
The priest and the child grandmother should be arrested for murder.
ReplyDeleteThe question is who is really possessed by demons the child or the people who killed her? It got to be the people because the child is dead.
ReplyDeleteThose who say that poverty and Christian conversion have nothing to do with this young lady's tragedy, still have to learn about the power of the Christian church and the negativity of the the culture of poverty. Of course, I am not suggesting that all Christian churches do conversions. And the Hindu community needs to address aspects of the poverty in its community. Also, there must be a probe into this young lady's demise.
