This is unfortunate that in the name of "tradition" we do still encourage so many unethical things. Remember the Supreme Court ban on Jalikattu. This is just another regional version of the same dirty devil spirit.
The best way to maintain tradition is to restore our primitive ones. For eg. staying naked and go back to our hunting gathering stage.

No person seems to have dominated Gujarat politics as much as Chief Minister Narendra Modi over the last one decade. In case he wins this 2007 election, where fifty-fifty chances appear after the voting on 11 and 16 December, what will be the ‘Modis’ effect on national politics viz-a-viz BJP and if he fails, how the Congress and BJP will turnaround their politicking in India; a debate every political analyst and media portal is genuinely trying to explore. We argue that after the 2002 Gujarat it is not LK Advani but Narendra Bhai Modi who is the formidable icon for Hindutva politics in India. His defeat or win in the recent Gujarat election will mean beyond Gujarat. Modi’s...
