Witchcraft are Exist or not

Such wizards or witches as exist
amongst them are believed to harm a person by
throwing some rice in the direction of that
person’s house and inciting their familiar spirit to
move in that direction and afflict the person with
some disease or other troubles. The methods of magic and
witchcraft in Chottanagpur and its adjoining areas
inhabited by Korwas, appear to be common
among Kharias as well. Even among aboriginal
tribes such as the Oraon, the Santal, the Ho, and
the Korwa witchcraft belief is intrinsically
embedded in their worldview. Witchcraft in these
societies is considered as one of the main cause
of sickness and death.
