South Gandhi Maidan, Patna, Bihar, India, February 3, 2014. An old illiterate Hindu man enjoys ganja in a temple during cold Monday winter afternoon, a day before World Cancer Day, which will be marked this year under the tag line “Debunk the myths”. The four myths include: “We don’t need to talk about cancer; there are no symptoms; there is nothing I can do about cancer; and, I don’t have the right to cancer care”. Ganja consumption can cause cancer and illegal in India but is considered part of ritual in Hinduism where superstition prevails over science. Credit: Rupa Ghosh/ Alamy Live News.
