Indian Baby Dropping Ritual

Indian Baby Dropping
Signature Tune



Apr 30 - Muslims 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.

Sonia Legg reports.

Wow, impressive katyzzz; I wonder if the children are kept safe by the strength of the viewing crowds positive faith based intentions.

Yes, of course, that's the likely explanation, and what's that big bird in the sky?
