Actually, you're closer than you think. For some Hindus, a ceremony to honor the occassion of a boy growing into manhood, say around 13 or so, involves taking a dip in a river with a priest conducting the ceremony. He grabs the boys head and dunks it in the water for a bit....pulls him out...

Of course, with a country of 1 billion people, one can find anything. At first i thought they buried them alive and left them there to die.

the original title of the story in Indian Express did not lead you to believe they died, but the Drudge report title was the one I used, because I thought Drudge's title was more fun.

Like you said, you can find anything in India. In India some journalists come up with outrageous articles and article titles for the sake of having fun and getting attention. I like that style. That is how the stories about monkey-men riding motorcycles got started.
