I got a quick education on this practice, and indeed it is pretty common among Indian Catholics.What's your point? Artificial contraception is pretty common among American Catholics. Disdain for the need of the Sacrament of Confession is also pretty common amongst them.
You obviously believe in "the majority rules", e.g. Indian Catholics, UN, etc.
Let me give you a quick edcuation, Christ's apostles were a minority.

It has been shown that this woman being a Shiva Priestess was a lie. This mark is like a handshake, and saying it has religious significance is a lie. Saying that Indian Catholics are using a pagan practice is true, but saying it is for a pagan purpose is a lie.
Continuing this story is participating in a lie.
We Christianized the Yule-time Tree, Yule Log, and mistletoe, all those were Celtic or druidic in origin, they used the mark as a Christian symbol.
Duck to equate a handshake with contraception, or people not going to confession. Perhaps you can tap dance too.
