Human sacrifice

Sir, — Reading about the recent wave of human sacrifices across India in a British newspaper made me wonder whether our country is really in the 21st century.

More saddening is that these acts are patronised by some of our educated elite, including senior politicians.

The Government should summarily outlaw these irrational and dangerous acts and their practitioners.
