I want you to think about this: India has nuclear weapons. Lots of nuclear weapons.
Two trees "married" to appease rain god in Indian village
Quote:
NEW DELHI (AFP) - Hundreds of people have attended a wedding between two trees in hopes of pleasing the god of rain, United News of India reported. To the chanting of Hindu hymns a cleric tied a knot on a neem tree, which was the bride, to solemnise its eternal union with a peepul tree, the news agency said. The guests, who included a local legislator of India's ruling Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party, were all invited for a feast after the wedding in a village near the former French colony Pondicherry.
Rituals to bring rain such as marriages between animals are common in rural India. More than 70 percent of the country's billion-plus population is employed in agriculture.
