Lung cancer is rapidly emerging as a major public health concern in India. According to the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), cases have been steadily increasing—from around 63,708 in 2015 to an estimated 81,219 in 2025. Smoking remains the primary cause, with nearly 10 crore adults in India identified as smokers.

In this state, the groom is paraded through the village or town, providing entertainment for the local community. While it may seem humiliating to outsiders, for locals it is a joyous, humorous traditi...
