He already has seven daughters. The clairvoyant had told him once, that if he didn't bathe, it will have a male heir. Kailash “If” Singh from India replaces traditional bathing and brushing “fiery bath”: every evening he stands on one leg in front of the fire, smokes marijuana and prays to god Shiva – he writes ”Hindustan Times”. – It is like using water for bathing – says Kalau. – A fiery bath helps kill germs and get rid of infections in the body – he adds. 63-summer Kalau comes from the village of Chatav near the holy city of Varanasi, known for its ritual baths in the Ganges. But the man does not take part in them either. He did not cleanse himself in the waters of the holy river even after his brother died five years ago, which outraged all family members. – I do not remember, How did it all start. I know only, that it was some 35 years ago – tells Kalau to a newspaper reporter. His hygiene habits also had an impact on the working life of the stubborn man. He used to run a grocery store, but customers stopped coming and he had to close the business. Now he farms near Varanasi airport. 63-the year old says, that he sacrifices himself in this way in the name “national interest”. – I will fulfill my oath, when all the problems facing the nation are gone – he says.
But his neighbors have a different explanation. – The seer said Kalau once, that if he didn't bathe, he will be blessed with a male heir – one of them betrayed.
