Abstract

Social scientist Karl Marx scientifically studied the relation of human beings with the state and society. To him state was created by the rich people to suit their vested interest. With the help of state power, the bourgeois class exploit over the disadvantageous classes of people. The economically weak people and women constitute lower classes and thus oppressed in well-designed state.  The social discrimination and segregation prevail in the wombs of created state system.  The widow, women, poor, helpless, illiterates are the component parts of oppressed class. The oppressed classes may be imposed charges or allegations of being witch or evil doer. Since the state’s power is with the side of rich class, it does not care the life of victimized.  The witch hunt is not unfamiliar in all civilizations of universe. It permeated all the cultures and states in universe. The witchcraft has been misused as a diverting way of criminal acts and to fulfil the personal scourge of clever. The jealousy, enmity, hatred, ransack of property, political rivalry are diluted in witch hunt to mislead the gullible public. The witch hunts have been regarded as one of the greatest violators of human rights in present age. It could draw the attention of intellectual societies as human rights concerns and emancipation of women in all corners of the universe.
