^^^ whats un islamic in it? it can be culture thing , it can be dumb along with many other traditions, how it became un islamic?
unless its strictly hindu religious mandatory thing and only practised to show hinduism, it doesnt become un islamic.
if its a harmless useless cultural thing not related to any religion but our part of the world, we dont have to follow everything arab, we can be muslims without following all arab traditions, i think we are quite rich culture and tradition, we should only stop practising due to islam that contradict with the basic teachings.
because our ancestors were hindus, and we are from sub continent we are bound to have our own cultural things, we dont have to practise un islamic thats it.
