The Controversial Practice of Baby Throwing: A Religious Ritual in India

This article will definitely send chills down your spine! Baby throwing, a ritual practiced in specific regions of India by both Hindus and Muslims, is a tradition that has stirred controversy and deep-seated beliefs for centuries. In this ritual, infants under the age of two are handed over to priests, who conduct a ceremonial act involving shaking the baby and then tossing them from the roof of a shrine or mosque, usually at heights ranging from 30 to 50 feet. The ritual is primarily carried out during the first week of December at two prominent locations: the Baba Umer Dargah near Sholapur, Maharashtra, and the Sri Santeswar temple near Indi, Karnataka. Remarkably, more than two hundred families journey to these sites each year, eagerly participating in this age-old tradition. The origins of baby throwing are believed to date back five to seven centuries. According to folklore, a pir (a Sufi spiritual guide) once suggested to parents whose infants were gravely ill to construct a shr...

Mental Health: A Fundamental Right and How to Enhance It

Mental health is the cornerstone of our overall well-being, empowering us to navigate life's challenges, harness our capabilities, and contribute to our communities. It's not merely an aspect of health; it's a fundamental human right, and it plays an integral role in personal, community, and socio-economic development.

Multiple factors can adversely affect our mental well-being, encompassing individual psychological and biological elements, exposure to adverse social, economic, geopolitical, and environmental conditions, and limited access to quality and affordable mental health care.

Tragically, suicide ranks as the fourth leading cause of death among those aged 15-29, claiming more than 700,000 lives annually. Furthermore, individuals...

Inis Beag: A Contrast in Sexual Culture

The Inis Beag people, residing on a pseudonymous island off the Irish coast, are renowned for their conservative and repressive sexual customs, a stark departure from the more liberal and expressive sexual culture found on South Pacific's Mangaia Island. The observations of American cultural anthropologist John Cowan Messenger, who studied the Inis Beag community in the 1960s, provide insights into their unique sexual practices. Inis Beag lacks formal sex education, where sexual intercourse is seen as a necessary but unpleasant act for procreation. Natural occurrences like menstruation and menopause are met with fear and repulsion, and breastfeeding is actively avoided. Nudity is abhorred among the Inis Beag, and bathing focuses only on body parts beyond clothing. Even within marriage, underclothes remain during sexual activity. The husband initiates intercourse, with limited foreplay, while adopting a sole sexual position, male-on-top. This position is chosen for a quick male orga...
