India is perhaps rightly then known for its superstitions and unrealistic beliefs when we hear news channels boasting of the superstitious reasons behind the moves of the politicians.
Atal wanted the counting to happen on the thirteenth of May (13, being his lucky number), Congress claimed Sonia was born on the date the Indian Constitution was drafted and Sonia was apprehensive on meeting the President today because its Amavasya (the no-moon night).
Its only smart for us to draw the conclusion that there are seldom chances of this country progressively thinking with the leaders forcing beliefs like these on the nation. Sighing, apparently, seems to be the only solution.

Someone once said to me, something on the lines of - This country must progress, not because of but inspite of its politicians and bureaucracy. Superstitions exist in every country; the ambition to become the greatest does not.
