The killing of 26 tourists and injuring of many more tourists in Baisaran in Kashmir was a tragedy beyond words. The terrorists claimed to be part of Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba's front, 'The Resistance Front,' who have taken responsibility for this dastardly act. They identified people by religion and brutally fired upon them. One of the people killed was Syed Adil Shah, the one who used to take the tourists on ponies.

During Marx's era, power-hungry individuals and groups misused religion to make people passive and inactive, preventing them from questioning misdeeds, manipulations, and exploitation. When religion becomes a drug, it stifles critical thinking and scientific temper. The Indian Constitution highlights "cultivating scientific temper" as one of the fundamental duties of its citizens.
