No, it's cartilage, which does not stretch well at all, and will rarely ever stretch on it's own. It's not going to stretch.Unless of course you try? Why you would I don't know.
in India every woman gets her nose pierced right before her wedding
Sure. Why not? Look it comes down to what a person wants, and how they see themselves and how they want others to see them. I have lots of male clients, some of them with nostril piercings, they don't look any more or any less male. Piercings are about the individual, regardless of gender. The sooner people look at the person and quit worrying about gender the sooner everyone will get along. Take a look at Denise Rodman, he has his nostril pierced and well so.......... What's that say about him? His logic was this, "it intimidates the other guys on the court". Well that's Denise for you. So is it OK for a boy to have is nose pierced, sure, it's up to him.
Most people primarily breathe out of one nostril at a time, with the dominant nostril switching throughout the day in a cycle known as the nasal cycle.
Yes, it is normal for people to predominantly breathe out of one nostril at a time due to the nasal cycle, where one nostril becomes more dominant for a period before switching to the other nostril.
piercings are a matter of personal taste
Plugs are different from regular body piercing jewelry because they are intended to "plug" a space. Plugs are used when people gauge (stretch) their piercings. Plugs are most common on lobe piercings, but can be used on virtually any piercing, as long as there is room to gauge. Plugs can be hollow or solid and come in a variety of sizes.

Nobody really knows. It could be since the Stone Age times that people were putting holes into people's ears, and if not the name isn't recorded. It started with ear piercings, then other piercings.
People who get piercings typically get them because they like the look of them. Although some piercings (like genital piercings) may also serve a purpose. But in general, body modification is done just because people like the way it changes their appearances.
Usually a 18g needle is used if you're putting in the corkscrew jewelery as the initial jewelery, but if you're putting in the hoop then you have the choice of a 16g or 14g being standard. Some people have huge nostril piercings, and some have really tiny ones, done at an 18g.
No, typically people breathe through both nostrils, but it is common for one nostril to be more dominant at a time due to the nasal cycle.
