17. Suggestionsandremediesonsuperstition
 According to my point of view that
superstition can be cured by brain
washing . we should increase our
scientific education as well as
religious education then we can root
up this evil/Problem.

18. Superstation is irrational state of
mind which is illogical state we
should be reasonable and rational
mind to overcome upon it. 
Education is one factor that can
wipe out superstitions to some
extent.  A scientific outlook and
temper should be cultivated to do
away with superstitions. 
