WTF is this world coming to!
Tell me about it. The next heretical insult that the West perpetrates on India
(The Home Of All Knowledge) is that they're going to try to make it illegal to
roast marshmallows over the burning wife's corpse.

BBC World Service - Witness
Available now : 10 minutes
In I988 India passed a law that made it a criminal offence to help anyone
perform Sati, the ancient Hindu custom of a woman being burned alive on the
funeral pyre of her dead husband. Witness has been speaking to Ranjana Kumari,
who helped to push through the change in legislation.
