Are Indians really mad??? Looks like there are no child protection rights / Laws in India. Really Weird & Incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It has been said that the purpose is one of cleansing.
In case the child would have an attached soul or entity (as a mild form of possession), the dropping would scare that soul or entity to leave the child.
That makes some sense, doesn't it - at least if you accept the idea that such attachments are possible.
And if you don't, the you just don't know about it...
