Does anyone know about the law regarding male genital mutilation (aka circumcision) in India?
Is it legal for anyone who wants to have it done on their son?
What about female genital mutilation, is this practice prevalent anywhere in India and if so, is it legal?
I was watching a Penn and Teller "Bullshit" episode regarding this, which reminded me of it:

In Canada clipping off dicks is considered ok by law, but the equivalent procedure for women (prevalent in parts of Africa) is a criminal offense, oh and yes Canada supposedly guarantees male-female equality.
