I know Sandesh is an exceptionally talented guy but educated people like him should now have the guts to challenge the hygienically risky, medically unhealthy, contemporarily disgusting, useless, dominating, sexist and primitive practises like letting the bride's relative drink water washed on their feet. If these so called highly educated individual continue to do what their uneducated forefathers did out of ignorance, what is the point of being educated? Useless practises like this cannot be deemed as part of a culture. Western people left behind all those shitty practises and therefore they have gone a lot farther. Compare your daily life in the US to what average rural Nepali people do in their villages, than you will realize we Nepalis are still living almost like the cavemen. Why? Because of these shitty practises that we cling on to in the name of culture.

One whole generation should be prepared to relinquish such primitive practises and I think its about time our generation does it straightway.
