Indian Babies Thrown From 50 Feet for Luck and Health (Maharashtra – India)

In the Indian state of Maharashtra there is a very dangerous and crazy tradition of child throwing for the past 500 years. The parents throw their new born from the height of a 50 feet tall tower or building. The child is taken to the top of the building and thrown down on a sheet. They parents proudly throw down their child with strong belief that the practice of this ritual blesses their child with good health, luck, courage and strength for life. Babies are so delicate that i am forced to wonder what if the baby is injured? Via Source.
