Superstitions are a commonly witnessed phenomenon. They can be seen anywhere, anytime, whether at home, in office or on the way. People of every caste, creed or community are superstitious. Though the forms of superstition may vary, their presence can be felt in every society. It is a universal phenomenon. Even the people of highly rational West are superstitious. It is an integral part of human society.
To stop all of a sudden to see a cat crossing our path is a widely seen phenomenon in Indian society. It is almost universally believed that this is likely to bring failure to the mission of the person who is going to cross the road after it first being crossed by the cat. Similarly, the howl of the dog at the deadly hours of night instills a feeling of horror resulting from the fear of the death of some near and dear one.
The third very frequently practised superstition is that when someone sneezes at the departure time of a person, it is believed that he is going to flop in his mission. Such practices which do not have rational ground and are termed as superstitions.

In the corner-corner of the world- whether it is middle or rude or backward - equally or partly superstition is prevalent, because a person wants to be free after leaving all his sorrows on his fortune.
Those tasks that are dependent on fate, opportunities, mechanisms, sorcery, all come in the bounds of superstitions. When human beings see any work beyond their limited intellect, then immediately he starts believing in some unknown divine power and invites him for his help, even if the unknown divine power is the light of its difference, still think of it Where do they have the time or the intellect to think? When the success is attained, the entire credit is not given to the same unknown power or fortune.
Thus, superstition becomes stronger by being nurtured by irrationality and fortune-tellers. Where the kingdom of idiocy is there, the dictatorship of superstitions is very good. There is some kind of superstition in prevailing countries also with progressive and scientific light.
There are many types of superstition - some are caste, some are religious, some are social and some are so universal that all the people welcome them. This is a scientific age. It was supposed that we should try to recapture the facts of these stereotypes, but it has been that we are making science the assistant of ignorance of these stereotypes. This is a big irony.
Unfortunately, most Indians believe in the magic, the tantra-mantra and fate, and the foundation of these beliefs is so deep that it is not easy to uproot it. While walking in the field, while taking the plow, while cutting the ranch, Even the sleep-awakened-Indians think of Shakun and the planets and constellations.
