We now live in a world where we are prosecuted for almost everything. Prosecuted for the color of skin, our caste, our nationality, our religion, even our opinion.

This isn’t a US problem or an India problem. This is a problem that you will find all around the world.

Everyone has their differences, not just in terms of the way they look or where they come from, but also in terms of personalities, hobbies, and interests. Most people are extroverts, some ambiverts and the rest, simple introverts. But aren’t these differences what makes us human?

The most common reason for mass prosecution has undoubtedly been religion. So let’s go back to the mid 17thcentaury. A time when Catholics were at war with Protestants but they found a new common enemy, Witchcraft.

In today’s episode, I’m going to tell you about the infamous Salem Witch Trails, the accusers, the accused, the victims, the legalities, and most importantly the history.

I’m Elaine Fernandes, and welcome to the very first episode of Secret Conversations.
