It's been bad for folks living in the eastern Indian state of Bihar, for some time.
The monsoon season has failed to deliver the goods.
Crops are dying. People are starving. Wells have run dry.
Naturally, the God's are to blame. Dicks!
So the men folk and farmers have resorted to Plan B: All the area's unwed, single girls are plowing the fields naked.
Will the sight of these lovely ladies (I'm sure a few are hot) doing manual labor in the buff be enough to embarrass the God's and make it rain? Hard.
Only time will tell.

Said one local official:
Villagers believe their acts would get the weather gods badly embarrassed, who in turn would ensure bumper crops by sending rains
This naked plow tradition is not new, and has been practiced for years with coincidental results.
Sometimes God's send rain. Sometimes weathermen come to town and slap some sense into the townsfolk.
But droughts are droughts and they suck. So desperate folks will try anything, no matter how crazy.
Are you listening Vegas? Southern California? Get those naked girls out in the fields now!
Now, for those of you concerned about these naked ladies plowing themselves, (ba-dum-ching!) Fear not.
The old ladies of the town are all helping.
Clothed. I pray.

Their threads are useless without picks.
Just imagine it's Padma Lakshmi Tim.
What, no pictures?
Yeah, E ... like I'm not doing that already.
Fair enough Tim. It took me a while to get your literary trick there. Sneaky mofo.
Just a little wordplay to keep everyone on their toes.
Thinking of a naked Padma praying to the gods for rain dulls my mental faculties considerably. Woof.
