There are no nationwide laws against it. The National Crime Records Bureau started collecting data on human sacrifice and witch-hunting as motives for murder in 2013, but stopped within two years. Even in that period, thousands of such crimes were recorded. The full spread and growth of such superstition-based crimes is unclear, but anecdotal evidence and the frequency with which such cases are reported in local newspapers suggest that they are flourishing. Godmen, many of whom believe in black magic and practice superstitious rituals, are getting more organised and growing in public stature.

“We got an anti-superstition law in Maharashtra, full of loopholes, after eighteen years of struggle,” Ranjana Gavande told me. “How can we even expect a central law?” Gavande is a grassroots worker with the Maharashtra Andhashraddha Nirmoolan Samiti, an organisation founded by Dabholkar, and has been an anti-superstition activist for twenty years. “Getting a central law is a distant dream,” she said. Karnataka passed an anti-superstition law of its own in 2017, but this too was a diluted version.

 We have already reduced tariff on many items, we have reportedly agreed to buy MIG-21 fighter jets which Elon Musk himself called as Junk, our Commerce Minister was in US for days with no result . Adani may be arrested if he lands in US for investigation which probably we are trying to stop.

Our people were sent back with chains which some countries refused to accept and sent their own planes to bring them back with honor as they were not criminals.

Newspapers say 3 lakh students working in USA are going to be sent back.

By remaining as a slave of USA India cannot gain.  We have the highest population. We have purchasing power . We got the technology for steel making from USSR when US refused.  Whey they refused to give cryogenic engine technology for our space mission we developed ourselves.

We had all along supported Palestine but now we are exporting arms, ammunitions and missiles to Israel through Adani and the genocide continues.

We claimed to bring end to Russia Ukaraine war.  Now it has become a joke.  We claimed to be the G21 leader which was a rotating chair for an year without any gains for the people of the country. To please USA, Jio of Ambani and  Airtel of Sunil Bharti Mittal have agreed to buy space technology for Internet from Elon Musk’s space link. This will be dangerous for our Defense.

We have already allowed Elon Musk to have his Tesla show rooms at Delhi and Mumbai in favourable terms to him when Tesla sales are going down in US and other countries

These are some of the non-tariff measures visibly seen already and what is happening secretly is not known to anyone of us.

From 2022 to 2025, the state has sanctioned PSPs with a combined capacity of 8,700 megawatts, marking a significant expansion in hydroelectric storage development...

..under the Fifth Schedule of the Constitution. Here, the transfer of land to non-tribals is explicitly restricted under the Andhra Pradesh Scheduled Area Land Transfer Regulation of 1970. The Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in the Samata case further upheld that government land in Scheduled Areas cannot be leased or transferred to private entities comprising non-tribals. 
Despite this, the state government has decided to hand over vast stretches of land to private developers — a total of 3,387 acres in both the Scheduled Areas and tribal-dominated Sub-Plan areas, including individual and forest lands — triggering widespread opposition from tribal organizations and legal experts...the legal process for project approvals in Scheduled Areas requires the informed consent of Gram Sabhas under PESA  1996 and the due involvement of the Tribal Advisory Council (TAC) under the Fifth Schedule. Any scheme or project that impacts the livelihoods of tribal communities shall be placed before the APTAC, a constitutional body under the Fifth Schedule to the Constitution, which advises the Governor on matters related to the welfare and advancement of tribals. 
To date, there is no public record indicating that such consultations have been adequately conducted. The role of the New and Renewable Energy Development Corporation of Andhra Pradesh (NREDCAP), tasked with fast-tracking approvals, has also drawn scrutiny for bypassing critical environmental and social safeguards.
