Lilliputians used to bury body of dead people upside down as they had a belif that after a millions of years the earth would also turn upside down, resulting in making the people alive once again and the people who are alive as dead. They were following this ritual since a long time and they also believed that whatever their ancestors used to do was surely appropriate and they should also follow the same rituals ahead. They also believed in not modernising their views and thoughts and continuing with the same old and ancestorial thoughts as they were all deeply connected to their ancestors and believed that if they did a particular thing that is the first and last word said on that particular topic and no one had right to change or offend that ritual in any way. They were forced to follow the rituals whether they liked it or not.

BorisAssassin007: When Gulliver awakens in Lilliput, he is lying on his back. He finds himself unable to sit up or move at all. His "Arms and Legs were strongly fastened on each side to the Ground; and [his] Hair, which was long and thick, tied down in the same manner." He feels something moving along his body almost up to his chin, at which point he sees that it is "a human Creature not six Inches high, with a Bow and Arrow in his Hands, and a Quiver at his Back." .

BorisAssassin007: Gulliver will later learn that these creatures are called Lilliputians. Startled by this sight, Gulliver roars out and soon manages to free his left arm. The frightened Lilliputians fire dozens of tiny arrows into his hand, face, and body until he lies calmly.

BorisAssassin007: Gulliver admits that as he lies on the ground he often thinks of taking up fifty of the small creatures in his hand and crushing them-but he does not want to be scared with arrows again, and he has given his "Promise of Honour" to behave in exchange for good treatment. Gulliver finds the Lilliputians mathematically brilliant but silly.
