00:14Iqbal forced to live in a pond for five years. Family believes he is under the
00:19influence of a jinn or fairy. Most Indians from the lower classes and the
00:26lower middle economic classes. They live pretty wretched lives. They do provide a
00:32lot of comforts and conveniences to the moneyed people but their own lives are
00:37quite miserable. Even dollar one a day is not available to a lot of people. Just
00:42imagine dollar one a day. Superstition existed then. Superstition exists now.
00:47Superstition exists in illiterate people. Superstition exists in PhDs and
00:52scientists. Where does the superstition really come from? Superstition exists
00:56even in science. It comes from this, the body. That's the way our bodies are. It
01:01comes from our tissues, our cells, our DNA. That's the way human beings genetically are.
01:07That's where superstition comes from. Biologically, we are not created to
