Oh, well, it doesn't say what religion is in question but I guess that it is Hindu because it is in Sri Lanka, although it could be any religion since they all preach belief in exorcism
Quote:Sri Lanka girl, 9, dies in 'exorcism' ritual
A nine-year-old girl has died in Sri Lanka after she was beaten with a cane during a ritual locally believed to drive away "evil spirits".
The mother believed her daughter was "possessed by a demon", police said.
The girl died in hospital after losing consciousness during the ritual.
The incident took place in the town of Delgoda, about 40 km (25miles) from the capital Colombo, where the woman was known for offering "exorcism" services, media reports said.
Police have warned it is not the first time exorcism attempts have been performed in the area, leading to physical injury or death.

A safer guess would be Buddhist.

ECT would likely be more effective...

India is not only seeing a rise in violence and persecution against Muslims, but against Christians as well. A speech by a far-right politician was “supplemented with violent attacks on Christians and churches in different parts of India, with mobs making open calls to ‘behead’ them and stop alleged conversions of Hindus.”

Darwin's theory of Evolution is being removed from science books in India under the New Educational Policy, as the Government wants people to study the Hindu DasAvtar claims.
Quote:Scientists in India are protesting a decision to remove discussion of Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution from textbooks used by millions of students in ninth and 10th grades. More than 4000 researchers and others have so far signed an open letter asking officials to restore the material.
The removal makes “a travesty of the notion of a well-rounded secondary education,” says evolutionary biologist Amitabh Joshi of the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research. Other researchers fear it signals a growing embrace of pseudoscience by Indian officials.
The Breakthrough Science Society, a nonprofit group, launched the open letter on 20 April after learning that the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), an autonomous government organization that sets curricula and publishes textbooks for India’s 256 million primary and secondary students, had made the move as part of a “content rationalization” process. NCERT first removed discussion of Darwinian evolution from the textbooks at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in order to streamline online classes, the society says. (Last year, NCERT issued a document that said it wanted to avoid content that was “irrelevant” in the “present context.”)

Yeah, evolution has nothing to do with viruses undergoing random mutations and spreading if they gain properties that are beneficial to their replication and survival.
