BLACK MAGIC ANTIDOTE
“It seems your husband gives tablets to remove black magic. I want to have them for my sister. Her in-laws have spoilt her fully by black magic. Her parents got an exorcist to remove the black magic. He could not do it” a village woman asks my nephew’s wife.
My nephew was an agriculturist who knows most of the villagers personally. I used to keep tranquillizers with him to give to the mentally ill of the village. They were the laughing beggar, the naked beggar, the full moon and new moon persons, chasing children beggar, scolding beggar, long breaded beggar, long nailed one, etc. I have identified mental illness in them and wanted to treat them. Since I was afraid to give monthly dose to those homeless persons, I used to keep them with my nephew. He will give either daily or weekly once to them. Many of them improved. Since they were the ones who will work only for beedi and coffee, they were employed by others. Most of them were given shelter at work place.
My nephew started overhearing my interview with people. I was asking whether they believe in any black magic done on them to identify paranoid delusions and to assess insight. He told my mother that after MBBS and post graduation, I have been doing ‘manthravadi’ job! (the one who removes black magic)
