Assam Man Bathes With 40 litres of Milk After Wife Elopes with Lover

Assam Man Bathes With 40 litres of Milk: In an unusual yet symbolic celebration, a divorcee from the Nalbari district of Assam came into the national limelight when he bathed in 40 liters of milk. Manik Ali of Mukhulmua village considered this as his “rebirth” after his wife reportedly eloped with her boyfriend.

The Backstory Behind the Celebration

According to local reports, Manik’s wife ditched him for another man, quite evidently throwing him into a period of emotional trauma and a divorce settlement process. Once the court declared their divorce, instead of mourning, Manik decided to celebrate what he termed his liberation from betrayal. In his own words, it was much more than a legal decision-it was a spiritual and emotional rebirth.

Bathing in Milk: A Symbol of Purity and Renewal

Bathing in milk has many meanings in Ayurveda and other Indian traditions, purification and rebirth being two of them. Manik took this traditional practice literally, by sitting in a tub of milk and pouring it over himself, avowing that he had been “cleansed of past sorrow.” People from his village started arriving in ever-growing numbers, and it went viral.

Social Media Query

Footage of Manik’s bizarro celebration inundated social media with mixed reactions. While some people were simply congratulating him for being able to laugh about his heartbreak, others thought the whole incident laid somewhere on the range of okay. Thus began the whirlwind of memes, jokes, and hot debates, cementing Manik’s place as an unlikely internet sensation.

Freedom, Healing, and a New Beginning

For Manik, this was less an exhibition and more a declaration of his liberation and healing. The divorce was painful, but it offered him another chance for life, and he decided to embrace that chance with both arms and in the most bizarre way.
