Birmingham-based Asian Rationalist Society of Britain (ARSB) have offered a monetary prize of £100,000 or Rs 85 lakhs to individuals who claim to have paranormal powers and offer magical cure and luck in India. If they could scientifically prove it to the ARSB, they walk away with bragging rights and a handsome sum. These NRI rationalists have opened their offer to 'babas' and 'tantriks' in India as well, in addition to other individuals who offer their services in the Asian and Caribbean communites.

Sachdev Virdee, general secretary of ARSB, said, “It is a matter of shame that with their fake claims they are still able to victimise vulnerable, desperate and gullible people in India. "The people of India have enough strength to come forward to expose these babas and to expose the real truth to protect the vulnerable people and put fake babas behind bars.”

These individuals who claim to have a higher power would be tested under conditions, and if they were to be successful would walk away with the prize money offered.

To stake claim to the prize, these individuals would have to be tested under certain conditions. In 2008, the European Regulations categorized “faith healing” under trade. Faith healers can be sued if they fail to deliver on their promises. Among these are astrologers and fortune tellers who say their services are entertainment-driven and not based on any experiments.

Now that all the rationalist have flew the coop, here is one that they would have loved.
