In recent years in South Africa much is said and written about hlonipha in African languages and African societies. However, thus far no academic has explored the concept of hlonipha in Indian languages and Indian culture. This paper, written from an Indian perspective, explores whether hlonipha is a custom only of the Zulu and Xhosa (African) societies or whether it is also present in the Indian society
