This differendte in the name given to these second marriages and in the right of the children does in its own way throw a rather lavourable light on the two race's appreciation of the gtheility the unity and the sacredness of the first marriage. [...] It is an undeniable fact that the interruption or rather the complete rupture with the political system of the aborigines and that whole series of events which rapidly evolved into the present respective status of the Maharaja and his creatures the zamindars on the one hand and the aboriginal cultivators on the other have taken place in spite of the latter. [...] If the changes in the original system be so radical that the rigorous maintenance of the code of inheritance in its entirety grown out of the shattered and discarded system must under the new circumstances prove seriously detrimental to the race it would be entirely unjustifiable to maintain any a the detrimental provisions. [...] By Sarat Chandra Roy M. A. In the Report of the last Census of India * reference has been made to the practice common in Baluchistan and the Western runjab of artificially moulding the shape of the head and features of a new-born babe. [...] This ceremony is known as the Soda Kamm and is meant to protect the woman and the baby in the womb from the evil attentions of the sept-spirits (Khunt-bhuts) of the woman's father's family and the village-deities (pon-deoti) of her father's village.
