That is what I thought it meant, but I wanted to be sure. "Bad Blood" in our Indian culture means that someone has put a curse on the person either because they have done somebody wrong in a real bad way or they became evil because of their upbringing. We believe it is not hereditary - for the simple reason that God makes angels at birth. One other interesting point I would like to make is the sayings the old (they are called "elders") people would make, and that is while someone is pregnant with child, they are not supposed to make fun of other people or mimic them because their child may become like that person. Some people take this as a myth. In Canadian Law, when someone is arrested and jailed for a "misdemeanor charge" it means any offense less serious than a felony and this would hardly be cause for "bad blood". I say this because I know people that have been jailed for a short period of time when they couldn't pay their fines and they are good people. I hope this is clear so that it is not taken the wrong way. It would be interesting to know what other people's views are.
