Satti ( widow was burnt to death)

Hindu custom in India in which the widow was burnt to death on her husband’s pyre.

Do they still practice this custom in India

 

Go ogle the Google. Why start a thread for others to Google for ya?

 

I have seen such kind of stuff in Indian movies

Like removing hair from the head, eye brow if the husband dead. and some people burn the wife with husband death body..

Just horrible!!1

I just google and found this http://www.indianchild.com/sati_in_india.htm and some stuff from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sati_(practice)

 

Does not make sense this is a Hindu custom - just another self based, family structured flawed religion, not found in nature. Burn the Scripts for all the religions......conquiring evil needs no Script but action.

 

There are lot of indian in the forum, but there is no reply as yet

 

you will find them in those thread where they can only make fun of other religion

 

George these threads are pathetic.

 

It is not practiced now. Few cases may be there but they are rarest of the rarest of the rare.

 

Hey! I'm Indian.

That's true. It was practiced in some parts of India earlier. That's history now.
It's obsolete and no longer in existence.

 

Let's talk about acid attacks.

 

I have not heard of any sati incidence in last 2 decades.

There may have been 2-4 incidents here and there, but I guess the practice is dead.

 

nice respond. I'm not sure it ended completely but guess nowadays this is so disapproval in your country. that is so valuable.

I guess if we see in our tradition frankly will find some horrible attitude either.

 

The practice is true and it was shut doors even before Indian independence, its what you call as modernizing the religion

I really feel you are an pakistani origin by your threads and replies, you seem to be biased with your comments

Sati might be followed still in the backward regions which haven't come on-light, people who live still in their historic days have to lighten up at least with the help of NGO's

one stated above, of the wife's head (hair) been shaved off, if husband dies, that's true but not all follow same customs, there are more complications with the customs based on their caste, and so on.. not just wife but even male/husband has to go with a complete head shave if he loses his wife or his close ones( such as father, mother, brother, son,daughter) again all this is tied up according the own's customs

I feel its bizarre to bring even such topics for discussion, unless you are one who is in close touch with the customs

 

Now go and check your own threads and then get back to this thread again

 

That's nutty how can they let someone be burnt to death

 

That's true. It was widely practiced in India during the 14-16th century i guess. But now, it's not practiced anymore excepy maybe in a few orthodox families in remote parts of the rural region.

 

yes, true.

 

It was Banned in 1829.

 

But it is still happening in India

As I said, it may be happening, but it is very very rare.

Not more than a few cases every decade.
