Hindu traders used to travel to North West Frontier Province (NWFP) in the undivided India. They went even beyond to Kabul and Kandhar. Some of them had their families with them and they settled there. Among these traders some had only daughers. Some among them sought the blessings of a son at the Dargahs and mosques there. The Mullah wanted them to have their blessed sons circumcised as a thanks giving to the Dargah or mosque, which they agreeed and kept ther word despite the tabo.
