The recommended measures for addressing this phenomenon are to deal with the issue of ignorance controlling beliefs, which will involve a multi-faceted approach: First, support education campaigns aimed at combating superstition and encouraging science-oriented thinking. I believe that we need to be integrating critical thinking and awareness of the problems caused by abuses of folk practices in the formal schooling process. In doing this, we will hopefully equip the new generation of youth to be able to deconstruct and question the practice in the future.
Second, we need to provide and increase mental health services, particularly in rural and disadvantaged areas. This would provide people with resources to help alleviate mental problems associated with their personal or professional lives without risking being involved in harmful practices.
Thirdly, we can minimize abuse by strict governance in institutions of education – universities, colleges, schools, etc., so that students are not exploited by promoters of deviant behaviour, and are safe. For example, reports of suspected abuse have to be handled with fair treatment; audits/auditing processes, and staff and student vetting processes have to be completed regularly.
Fourth, responsible journalism can promote evidence and factually based reporting that helps society present incidents in greater context with opportunity to recognize and understand some uncertainty without instilling fear with misinformation.
Using the Hathras Case as an example, the challenge of superstition and our governmental systems to minimize thereof can be summarized very simply, especially in a very complex environment(s). Approach with the goal of addressing the foregoing considerations for education, mental health, institutional governance, and journalistic responsibility will have the most lasting impact in avoiding such tragic circumstances in future.
