    The reason India stopped that is because they realized they were exporting way too many human skeletons and way too many child skeletons in that, so they eventually realized that this meant there were mass murders involved. India to this day has problems with that but it’s become better.

    Here’s an interview of a guy who went underground to familiarize himself with the problem and even talked to a bunch of people involved. It’s a great video :)

      My highschool biology classroom had the skeleton of an indian tween in a closet. It had been professionally skeletonized and rigged up and everything. The bio teacher swore it was there when he started teaching and that he doesnt know anything about it…

      He also had a human fetus preserved in a jar of formaldehyde.
