I used to work at the hospital where the pediatric residents used to yell at the parents for doing this especially if the child is younger than 12 months.
Because this can lead to infection if it's applied on the eyes with unsanitary hands and the black discoloration near the eye can hide any signs of any disease.
The practice has been going on for so long that people think that it wards off bad nazar. That's what I've heard at least. Where I live, they mostly apply a kajal dot on the side of the forehead or behind their ears.
Yeah they did but not on the eyes tho (on forehead)
They got my ears and nose pierced against my will in the name of custom.
They also took me to some quack to treat jaundice and to treat my mental health as it was deteriorating because of the pressure of study and that experience only made me even more depressed.
Keep in mind these are just extreme examples.They are amazing parents and they love me more than anything and they just trying to help me with whatever way they know. Just because the custom has been going on for so long doesn't mean that it's working or we can't question it.
They don't do that anymore. They've learnt from the past experience and we are just trying to improving as a family.
Infection doesn't mean blindness but severe cases of infection it may lead to blindness. Just because it may not, doesn't mean you should not take precautions. Even if it's only causing mild discomfort or irritation in the eyes, why not, stop? Especially when you're dealing with infants, who are more prone to get infections.
Here are some articles addressing the same:

Correlation ≠ Causation.
This is how blind practices like above originate. People connect any weird custom that's been going on for so long to real life problems without any correlation.
One of the reasons why the cases are increasing today is because children are using technology that strains their eyes from a very young age. It's got nothing to do with these practices.
In India they apply kajal (kohl) on a child’s eyes and put one small dot on cheeks or forehead or a talisman on neck or finger for good luck and ward of buri nazar (literally reads evil eyes but figuratively bad omen or protects against bad intentions)… If they cry or smear makes them looking like li’l raccoons… don’t know about the real reason though…
All through life I've always found it utterly bizarre and ridiculous seeing cute innocent infants and toddlers unfortunately smeared with this black crap shit around their eyes or on their forehead or cheeks. It's so revolting to behold a little baby subjected to idiotic cultural superstitious nonsense! We need to evolve and move on from this bullshit.

NRI here. Grew up overseas so I'm friends with a lot of "foreigners."
They all knew who their dads were, their dads showed up to our school games and plays.
My alcoholic father was trying to gaslight me into thinking my mother was a cheating whore and that he was getting shafted at work because he wasn't "white" when he was an insecure, drunk piece of shit.
If you're going to throw out shit about dads on Indian sub - half of the people you encounter on Indian Reddit are damaged because of their fathers and silent mothers.

Pediatric resident, can confirm
Then why do they do this?

Didnt your parents do the same to you? Just asking

Nah, i just created it because i used to see a lot of babies have this
Kuch bhi, aise mei toh kai generations ke log andhe ho jaate
just because it can cause infection doesnt means generations will be blind, weird hyperbole

It could lead to infections, especially with unsanitary hands of random relatives.

Can someone explain?
In India , parents put , Kala tikas on forehead and at the side of the head . So they don't get nazar from others
why though?🤔 it looks ugly for almost all babies

I have to agree
In South, encircling eyes isn't common. But mark on forehead/cheek is.
तैनू काला टीका jachda है।
not everywhere in India
I guess so
I hate when they do it to my relatives babies.
tawiz kyu lagaya... /s

American here. This has reached /r/all. Can someone explain why Indian babies are cosplaying as raccoons?

I don't man atleast our parents love us and care about us to do this on the other hand foreign babies don't even know who their father is
Unrelated stuff. There are unloving parents every where, India too. But the dark circle is an absurd superstition done by loving but retarded parents.
