The 121 reported deaths due to a stampede after a satsang in hathras, uttar pradesh, is the latest in the long list of deaths related to religious events, ceremonies and places.
The reason why indians are spending a lot of time, money attending religious events, where there is a risk of stampedes and similar events is because of the harassment of citizens who are religious, do not spend time on religious ceremonies, saying prayers daily.
Religious people are often getting away with all their frauds, while citizens who are not religious are persecuted, denied their fundamental rights, even if they are harmless citizens who have not broken any law.
