Pune: Poets meet at crematorium to fight superstition
500 people turned up for programme organised on amavasya night.
As the country celebrated Diwali, there was a somewhat different celebration at a crematorium on the Pune-Mumbai highway. Anti-superstition activists and local groups working for Dalits gathered at the crematorium in Bopodi between 10 pm and 4 am on November 11-12 — which happened to be an amavasya , or moonless night — and recited poetry and songs to dispel myths about crematoriums and amavasya
