Indian baby dropping
By Raffael Agustus Smickles • May 1st, 2008 • Category: The FeedMuslims in western India have been observing a bizarre ritual - they’ve been throwing their young children off a tall building to improve their health.
The faithful have been observing the ritual at a shrine in Solapur, in western India’s Maharastra, for more than five hundred years.
They believe it will make their children strong and say no accidents have ever happened.
