Villagers
in India Don't Use Doors Because "God Is Protecting Them From Crime"
INDIA - No
theft or crime has been reported in Simulia in Orissa state.
No house has a door
in the community where people believe the local deity Kharakhai Devi
protects them.
"We have never
seen policemen coming to even visit our village. It is Kharakhai that
does the job of police here," Gayadhar Dwivedi told the Deccan
Chronicle.
"When I was
in school, a boy from the neighbouring village of Tarasar tried to steal
some bananas from an orchard.
"He got mysteriously
confined in the orchard. Despite his repeated attempts, he could not
return to his home."
Villagers rescued
the boy the next day, he added.
Divedi said a houseowner
did once put up a door but the house went up in flames which did not
spread to neighbouring houses without doors.
