Narendra Dabholkar, fighter against superstition, was killed

Chris French's latest newsletter drew my attention to this.

Given Chris's absolute scepticism, to the point that nothing we do or think is real I think he wrongly attributes the same motivation to this man. The obituary is of a man who fought harmful fraud rather than genuine belief. I am well aware of the criticisms of Sai Baba, an Adelaide New Age newspaper published some very credible information about his extra curricular activities.
