Baby Throwing Ritual Last week, I have done a presentation in my class. A presentation which we have to talk about anything we want to. So, I would like to share what I presented in my class. I chose a topic that is rarely known by my friend. It was about a ritual in India which I found very interesting. When I first time watched the video, I was speechless. I was so shocked because I have never imagined such ritual in our life nowadays. The ritual was named as baby throwing ritual. The Muslim in the Western India has been following this ritual for more than 500 years. The birth of a child is always an occasion in India. In this ritual, the babies are throwing off from 15-meter high building with intentions to make them healthier and stronger. And of course, there are group of people waiting down holding a piece of white cloth where the babies are dropped. The babies are bounced once on the cloth and must be caught before the second bounce. For my opinion, this ritual is quite dangerous for the baby. As we all know, babies are so delicate, they have very soft bones. By throwing them off from 15-meter high building, their bones might break easily and their legs, neck or hands might sprained. But still, who we are to challenge the people’s belief? And surprisingly, until this date, no accident or injury was reported. Very amazing, is not it? So, this is the link of the Baby Throwing Ritual just in case if you are interested to watch it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SBHKozS-sA
