War on social ills
SANGEET SANGROULA
Interfaith alliance to take on the ills of
society
“social maladies
stemming from
religious origin”
KATHMANDU, June 30: Among
various social evils prevalent in the
Nepali society in the name of religious
belief, tradition and culture, the practice
of child marriage is one of the most
concerning ones… violence against
women… witch-craft continues unabated… a concept deeply engrained in the
religious sphere among some of major
religions practiced in Nepal.
Also, other social maladies also
stemming from religious origin…
