Horoscope
In many newspapers & magazines nowadays, horoscope ("rashifall" in Bangla) is printed. These predictions or fortune-telling may be interesting and funny to read, but everyone knows that these are baseless. They do not have the slightest connection with truth or science. How could possibly the movement of planetary bodies and stars effect the regular events in human life? Some uneducated people or distressed persons tend to believe them, giving a chance to mislead themselves.
Why should newspapers print it? Doesn't it give a chance to the people who are practising this as an occupation to earn money through cheating?
I would request the newspapers and other media not to print or propagate horoscopes, palmistry, etc because of their baseless nature.
