Casting The Evil Eye Witch Trials In Tribal India

Deep in eastern India beats a heart of darkness. It is a secret heart entangled in the shadows of superstitions and medieval beliefs a heart nearly beyond help and struggling for light. Casting the Evil Eye takes a hard look into this remote tribal belt of India and steps into a murky world: of witch doctors and witch hunters of spells and counter-spells of poverty and rank material greed of death and devilry of oppression and ostracism- ultimately of humanity against itself. Casting the Evil Eye courageously documents the societal evil of witch-hunts and witch-trials and speaks passionately about this man-made evil that stalks the destitute and the deprived. It is a social document in the form of a book a telling commentary on the fractures that split and hurt Indian society a case history of those victimized brutally on the margins and left behind in the march towards modernization.
