A man of greater faith

A former physician in India was troubled that sorcerers, gurus, babas, astrologers, godmen and other mystical entrepreneurs — usually with a religious bent — were cheating and manipulating people who went to them with problems.  He was an advocate for banning animal sacrifice, magical treatments for snake bites, and the sale of magic stones, according to the New York Times.  It all ended last week, when assassins shot him at point-blank range.
