HUNDREDS of Muslims in India's quake-hit Gujarat state have smashed and
burned their television sets to ward off evil spirits and prevent a new
temblor, the Indian Express reported on Monday. The newspaper said Muslim
priests in the region blamed the televisions for spreading obscenity and
attracting God's wrath in the form of the huge January 26 quake, which left
at least 30 000 dead. During prayer meetings they urged believers to destroy
their sets at the earliest opportunity. "They have not acted according to my
instructions, they have acted only according to what Islam teaches. And this
will happen across the country and abroad," a Muslim religious leader said.
The report showed a picture of a mob in the town of Mariapur smashing up a
pile of televisions, and it said broken televisions now littered street
corners. "It is better to have no television and live. We saw tall highrises
and concrete buildings crumble like a house of cards. Who wants it to
recur?," said cloth merchant Altaf Mansoori. The report said the numbers of
people in Gujarat visiting mosques, temples and churches in the region had
soared since the quake.
