Due to paucity of time, we would be able to answer to only one
of your queries Please try to answer the other question on your
own
Few points which you could include
while framing your answer on 'Superstitions' are:

Superstition may be defined as a
belief in the power of omens and the existence of supernatural
beings;

There are numerous people who
believe in a number of omens, and live in a constant fear of ghosts
and evil spirits

However, reasons for the same can
be drawn from the fact that people in India are backward,
illiterate and thus, ignorant Superstition and ignorance go
together

Most of Indian superstitions spring
with sound reasoning and common sense Superstitions are also
embodiments of wisdom

Man is in a fear of constant fear
of the unknown because he is weak and cannot tolerate something
which is baffling and unexpected

Man must always keep himself in
good humour With the advent of science and popular awakening, many
superstitions have been uprooted However, they date back to such a
long time that no amount of knowledge can weaken their hold or
fully shake them off
