LINK This child had all her hair plucked out in a disturbing Jain ritual

In a truly disturbing video circulating online, an eight-year-old girl from India is seen having her hair ripped off, clump by clump, strand by strand, as a way to prove she’s indifferent to pain. It’s part of a Jain religious ritual that marks her entry into the priesthood.

I repeat: She’s eight and entering the priesthood and participating in a ritual that is painful to even watch.

This video is not for the faint of heart. You’ve been warned. If you don’t want to watch it, that’s fine. Just skip to the next bit.

Apparently, the world would be a better place if a few 'Jains were plucked out'.

What have they done her before this so that she ignore such pain. I did not watch I can not watch a child be abused and retain a semblence of a low blood pressure.

Sick. Sick as usual. But as we all know, it could be so much worse, and is worse in many other religions.
