TIL: The UP and Bihari Hindu wedding tradition of abusing the womenfolk of the other family during the celebration night

The lyrics of this song apparently describe the sister of either the groom or the bride being a whore and sleeping with hundreds of men.

I did some digging and apparently this is a TRADITION known as "Gaari" among Hindu families. The sister of the groom / bridge is often a target of this abuse. More examples below:

This is the respect these people have for their own sisters after 10 trillion years of Tanatani Kuchra!

It's a failure of the Islamic rulers. They didn't do anything to civilize the native Dindus.

It is 5000 years old way of life

Baburnama is a must read to understand the uncivilized native culture of India...

I can't even make out the song. Could be harmless banter. I don't see people getting mad or pulling each other hair. Some local traditions have weird rituals and songs. That doesn't mean, it applies to 1 billion people who have their own local customs. Hinduism has many streams of thought and rituals.
