okay... before you say its farce, I know its real!
I have had first hand experience. I grewup in India.
And by what I understand and know about it, it was never born with an intention to cause any harm. It was a very radical science and even today it is practiced that way by many.
But my question is... can it be called a science? as it actually contradicts several scientific laws... and there is no rational explanation about how it works.
and it cannot be called an art as it is a mere ritual which lacks any kind of aesthetic beauty, even though it has traditionally been associated with religions and cultures.
but it has to fall under either of those categories because it is a concentrated action which has a desired effect!
what is your opinion?
thank you for your answers!
