Superstitions are always associated with Solar Eclipse, specially in India, where Astrologers make fast money by indicting fear in the public. This is happening since centuries. Earlier our Ancestors didn't wanted to see the Eclipse, fearing EYE SAFETY, as they were neither had safety mechanisms, nor aware of Scientific Methods to witness this Fantastic Celestial Event, and hence propagated blind beliefs and superstitions to avoid watching the Eclipse. This is the main reason why people even today, do not want to come out of their homes, during the Eclipse.

Times changed now, with easy availability of SOLAR FILTERS, and the Scientific Community, atleast now should aggressively encourage everybody to witness this Astronomical Wonder, with Media supporting the same, and provide resources to the public for procuring safe and scientific methods to witness eclipse like www.astronomyindia.org/shop

Once they witness the Eclipse and get thrilled, they lose the fear of viewing the Eclipse, and also simultaneously shun Superstitions related with Eclipse.
