PATNA, India (Reuters) - Farmers in an eastern Indian state have asked their unmarried daughters to plow parched fields naked in a bid to embarrass the weather gods to bring some badly needed monsoon rain, officials said on Thursday.
Naked girls in Bihar state plowed the fields and chanted ancient hymns after sunset to invoke the gods. They said elderly village women helped the girls drag the plows.

Considering the appearance of your average Indian woman this can’t be a good thing.
To: chiefqc
You would have to buy a farm in India to take advantage of the opportunity to embarrass the gods.
