What Is This Mysterious Kitchen Gadget?

I spied this frightening-looking device in Patel Brothers grocery store in Jackson Heights. I'm assuming it's Indian or Pakistani, but can't figure out what it's for! It looks more like a science-fiction torture device than a useful kitchen gadget...

It's a coconut grinder. You cut the coconut in half and then cup one of the halves over the blades (from the side) and turn the crank. SUPER DELUXE!
