Unfathomable and horrific to watch, devotees at a shrine at Solapur in western India’s Maharastra observe a bizarre ritual of throwing infants for good health from a height of 50 feet on to a cloth sheet held below. What is wrong with people?

  1. It is very bizarre, but as long as they’re not actually causing the infants harm …

  2. This is quite peculiar, but I agree with David… if it’s a cultural tradition and isn’t causing any harm…

    Maybe so, but would you want them throwing your baby?

  5. In what is likely a centuries old custom, it is improbable that they’ve never had ANY accidental deaths or injuries to the babies.

    I definitely wouldn’t call it “harmless”.
