Talk about pleasing the Gods

In Patna, naked women are ploughing the fields in a bid to embarrass the rain Gods into bringing some rain.* The report further reads

This is the most trusted social custom in the area and the villagers have vowed to continue this practice until it rains very heavily.”

Sounds funny at first but it is actually quite disturbing to think that these women have to shed their clothes in front of the whole village. Methinks that this custom is more an opportunity for the men to enjoy the skin show than bring rain. Wonder what the success rate is…
