branding and children

[Adam Bowles]

Dear colleagues,

A third party has asked me for information on the practice of branding as part of traditional medical practice in South Asia or in the Fijian Hindu community, especially in respect to children. Can anyone point me in the direction of useful material?

Many thanks
Adam
