In a rare incident, a 9-year-old girl, Rohini, has been given her father's pagdi in Tonk's Ghad town. This tradition-breaking event occurred after her father, Manoj Kumar Regar, passed away without a son. The pagdi ceremony is a significant ritual in some Indian communities, where the eldest son inherits the family's responsibilities and traditions. However, in this case, Rohini's family decided to break the tradition and give her the pagdi, marking a significant shift in societal norms. The decision to give Rohini the pagdi highlights the changing attitudes towards gender roles in Indian society.
