Superstition in India
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Superstition refers to any belief or practice that is caused by supernatural causality, and which contradicts modern science.[1] Superstitious beliefs and practices often vary from one person to another or from one culture to another.[2]
Common superstitions in India today include a black cat crossing the road being bad luck, cutting fingernails/toenails at night being bad luck, a crow calling meaning that guests are arriving, drinking milk after eating fish causing skin diseases, and itchy palms signalling the arrival of money.[3][4][5][6][7]
