A fact from Anti-Superstition and Black Magic Act appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 31 October 2013 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the Anti-Superstition and Black Magic Ordinance was recently passed in India following the assassination of its proponent, Narendra Dabholkar?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2013/October.

Quote by Dabholkar

I was thinking of adding this quote by Dabholkar (here: Narendra Dabholkar#Anti-superstition and black magic bill), that would then seem like a silly repetition. So should we put it in this article or let it remain in the original? -Ugog Nizdast (talk) 06:40, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's not related to the bill, so I wouldn't add it here. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:39, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wakari ritual of wari

This is mentioned a couple of times in the article as something that its practioners felt need to defend in light of this bill, and the bill's advocates felt the need to reassure people that the law would not apply to this. Yet when I read the wikipedia article I can't see anything that would endager this practice under the new law. Perhaps someone could explain and add something to the article about why this practice even came up in discussion of the bill.LastDodo (talk) 20:58, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
