She told me that it depends entirely on the region/cultural practices of wherever her mother is/was from. Apparently (and unsurprisingly) westerners tend to treat India as a whole and it’s impossible to ascribe any cultural practice to all Indians.

Around 1620 there were three famous Francis Bacon’s alive simultaneously. The judge, the MP for Ipswich, and the statesman.
