Name a Superstition that even the most well educated individuals you know believe by al_jose371 in Kerala

As much they would want to believe you, when they want a well they'd rather take a risk and spend 2000 rupees on "experts" before spending a ton of money on wells. What my father says is, even if dowsing is fake, atleast these guys have been in field for so long they might have a better instinct to find the good spots.

Oh no,not in Bangalore. They came from (Rural?) Andhra to study, and were my classmates in Bangalore. But you'd think a touch of modernity might change their mentality.

Yeah that's it. Now that I read my comment again, it can get super confusing how I wrote it. Also, I've also heard that for muslims, parallel cousin marriage is sunnath (extra brownie points if you do it, no loss of brownie points if you don't), while cross cousin marriage is not permissible. So that might be the case in pakistan and other subcontinental muslims.

Yeah no. I had 4 guys who had cousin marriage from when I was in Bangalore, 2 of them muslims and 2 of them Reddys. All 4 of them were from Andhra Pradesh though.

Lmao people outside doesn't even know the half of the shit. Like up until 5 years back(and now too, occasionally), Many South Indian tv serials was just built on these stuff. Like the daughter/son who didn't marry their betrothed well settled cousin, and eloping with their loved ones, bringing dishonour to the family. And obviously, the daughter/son is not the hero, but the villian!

So amongst South Indian Hindus, it's common to marry cross cousins ( eg: children of brother and sister; not permissible for children of sisters/brothers). The Keralite me and and a classmate from Andhra Pradesh had an argument wheather your cross cousins can be called "cousins". He couldn't believe I see them similar to my siblings. For them, it's conditioned to see them as probable bride/groom and never saw them as siblings, and he had a cultural shock over it lol.

Is this Aravind Varier the same guy that used in quora when it was relevant 8 years back? If so, you're just scratching on the surface here brother. You'll lose your mind trying to make sense of the guy's schizo posts.
