When you click on the Indian Taboo Tales tag, you’re stepping into a mix of stories that people usually keep to themselves. From weird wedding tricks in Bihar to the tradition of making kajal from puja wicks, these pieces dig into the parts of Indian life that rarely get a headline. We gather them here so you can read, think, and maybe see a familiar situation in a new light.
In India, some topics stay quiet because they clash with tradition, religion, or what the media thinks will sell. A “taboo” can be a strange cultural practice, a social issue that makes people uncomfortable, or a story that shows a side of life most people ignore. The articles under this tag are chosen because they spark conversation—whether it’s about a 50% US tariff hurting carpet makers, a flood that wiped out villages on the Narmada, or a teenage entrepreneur turning a Tata Nano into a wedding helicopter.
What ties them together is the willingness to look past the usual smiley news and ask the hard questions. That’s why you’ll find everything from weather alerts that affect daily life to sports moments that reveal bigger cultural trends. The goal isn’t to sensationalize; it’s to give you a clear picture of why these issues matter and how they affect ordinary people.
