tombaan, but what is the percentage of population practising sati or whatever in India ? We are country of 1 billion people and counting. A lot of people not from India cannot imagine how many people that are.
Sitting in my home in India, if and when I read such news, they were as distant to me then as they are now.
Ritualistic practises are followed in rural parts of every country, including US.
Obviously, Indian democracy lags the US, but at least we are headed in the right direction. Didnt we start about 150 years late.
Yes, everybody is crazy to come here and be here. But no one is going to cry if they have to go back. Its like not getting admission into an IIT. BTW how many countries can boast of IITs or IIMs ?
