So, my understanding is that the culture in India is conducive to this type of behavior, although I admit that assessment is based on a very limited observations, such as the guy who got on the Guiness Book of Records by growing his finger nails, etc. I'm curious as to why BBC felt that it would be in their interest to cover this story with a straight face.
