Personal justification

Karnataka’s new anti-superstition Bill has made sure that vaastu and astrology don’t come within its ambit. There is a reason. According to T B Jayachandra, state law and parliamentary affairs minister, both of  these qualify as science, not superstition. His contention is that universities are offering degrees in astrology. As a believer, he said, he would live for 105 years and win the next two Assembly elections.
