An amazing video of Muslims dropping babies down a 15m tower in the Indian town of Solapur and catching them with a white sheet.
According to the participants, the ritual is believed to make the children grow up healthy and strong. And has been practiced for more than half a millennium.
Personally, it was quite harrowing to watch the babies been dropped from the tower even though the organizers have claimed that there have never been any injuries or deaths.
I am sure if the ritual was practiced anywhere else, the parents would have been charged for attempted murder.
