When Politics messes with Faith

I have yet to make more research on this subject but if everything that this article states is true, then we have one more example where democracy dramatically fails.

We are talking about a law in India that is to forbid any practices of black magic and aghora as well.

Crimes have been conducted in the name of black magic and satanism, just like crimes have been triggered by politicians who have misused major religions such as catholicism and islam. I believe that anyone who misuses an idea and hurts the universal laws of democracy and the humand rights should be punished. But to forbid the belief in a certain ideological system without any particular reason is a fact worth of wonder. Can you set a limit to a mind? Can you censor my thoughts? And how will you do it?

My questions are:

- How will the government of India define the term Black Magic? How will it define the practices of Black Magic that are on their greatest part purely mental and psychic?
- Aghora meaning the fifth face of Shiva, is a great part of the Indian Philosophy, Tradition and Mythology. How can it erase such important parts of the past great indian civilization due to an unknown, inexplicable and unreasonable fear?
- How will the prohibition of all "evil" practices prevent real black magicians from carrying forth their work?
- Doesnt the Indian Government have more important issues to attend to than creating questionable mechanisms of public misuse?

I would like to know all parameters of this law but so far google has only given me another result that dates back to 2005.
