When i read abt the "Rakhi Hysteria" in Gujraat , i was really amazed at the way these kind of fear spreads..
Some similar kind of hysteria was very prevelant durin 1994 in Bangalore.
There was a story that something ( i dont know what it is.. Devil, spirit.. r whatever) knocks at ur door, the moment u open the door ,"it" kill u r somethng similar like that.
So people started to write nale ba (come tomorrow) on their doors. It was a belief that if reads nale ba , it will go bak and comes tomorrow again, ofcourse to back after reading nale ba.
I just wonder how people were so sure that "it" can read kannada!! My native which is 400 kmts from Blore also saw some doors with nale ba :).
Now just waiting to see where this Rakhi Hysteria is heading towards ;)
