Indians never wash

Man hasn’t bathed in 35 years to sire a son

An Indian father with seven daughters has not washed for 35 years to help ensure his next child will be a boy. 

Kailash Kalau Singh told a friend that a “seer” once told him 35 years ago if he did not take a bath he would be blessed with a male child. So he stopped.



Instead of washing with water, Singh bathes by standing with one leg beside a bonfire and smokes marijuana while praying to Lord Shiva. The “fire bath” helps to kill germs and infection, he claims.
The 63-year-old man’s professional life suffered when customers of his grocery store stopped shopping there due to his smell. He had to close the store and now tills fields in the holy city of Varanasi.

Kalau claims his commitment to not bathing was due to national interest. He vows to end his pledge when all problems confronting the nation end. His neighbors in the village of Chatav differ and say his washing boycott really is about his suspicions and not having a son.

Most Indians prefer sons, who are typically regarded as breadwinners, while girls are seen as a burden because of the matrimonial dowry demanded by a groom’s family and the fact that their earnings go to their husband’s family. 


Here is a link to some pictures showing how they bath in India

No hate, i like India for sure. More curry!

  18. Surely the only way to have a son is to make sure you so wash... not many women are going to want to sleep with you if you smell like a goat's carcass in a warm, Indian sun.

    SvaraRadera

    SvaraRadera

    SvaraRadera

    SvaraRadera
  24. WOW. So does that mean he hasn't had sex for 35 years?

    SvaraRadera
  25. Honestly, I feel terrible after not bathing for a day...I can't imagine how 35 years would feel.

    SvaraRadera
  26. Crazy man. I couldn't go without a bath for 3 or 4 days, much less 35 years.
