Dear Dr Colaco, I wonder if in the below paragraph, you have inadvertently typed Western India instead of Western Europe. The folklore surrounding sacrifice while building bridges is common in Western Europe. Infact, the nursery rhyme "London Bridge is falling down" is a cryptic reference to this horrific act. The bridge endured several disasters and there was always the implied threat of human sacrifice to make it work.
