Religious fervour
by shivkumar on Aug 04, 2008 08:10 AM

Most of us Hindus have various festivals to celebrate. Some of these festivals are attraction at some particular temple where devotees congregate in huge numbers. There are many other people who do not have any inclination for paying their respects to the presiding diety. Such people mingle with the crowd and rob, con the gullible into parting with the money and have some fun with the ladies. These anti social elements also spread rumours if they are in some difficulty or a chance of being caught and thus start the stampede. Such things cannot be stopped till people realize themselves that going to places where there will be mass gatherings, should be avoided.
