@losdoyers0509@SagarPrasa72470@PappuChoto@George90017 This is one rural village in a corner of India. A few hundred people have this bizarre local tradition. Actually unknown to the 1.5 billion other people in the subcontinent and its diaspora.
@HarisIqbal89@raggedtag Actually no. While Pakistan joined the UN in 1947, India did not.
