Every superstition cannot be removed by the force of law. For that, a mental change is necessary. Comment. Also, explain how educators and public figures can help in eradicating superstition and instilling scientific temper among people.

For example: an act like Witch Hunting was curbed due to legal intervention but the superstitions about ghosts may still remain in the mind of the public.

Only a mental change brought about through inculcating scientific temper can help remove such superstitions, for most of them are illogical & beyond practical human reasoning.

Educators, in school & colleges & public figures like spiritual gurus have an important role to curb this menance.

Example - Swami Vivekananda & Raja Ram Mohan Roy were the crusaders against irrational & evil practices present in the society. Through their intervention & public appeal they were able to change the thought process of millions. Example - abolition of sati.

Even educators in schools who promote scientific reasoning are very important.
