hehe my father told me when he was little living in Malaysia, these indians burn 3 living wifes ages 20-30 of a husband thats 78 y.o

:p they were screaming in pain :3

i think indians should just die out

@Thetrollmaster2000 Yeah agreed! Let's forget about the centuries of ineptitude that White-Anglos have displayed and the rape of the world they've instigated and just kill the Indians. Fusho.

Strange how the commentary is morphing to "defending" (or at least justifying, or rationalizing) one's religion. I don't see any religious undertones in the video. It's a work of art that captures a tradition that existED in India - decades ago.

@GunitaSingh You should also mention that Guru Nanak spoke against the practice of Sati. Nice video. I like the camera work.

@MrAliAmerican Ali, Islam may not have the practice of sati and 1400 years ago it was certainly progressive but now thanks to people following Mullah and not Allah, its not anymore. Where does the philosophy of Al-Qaeda come from? Think!!

white, non-white, bah...cant we live in peace? i dont see the difference, we're all human, so we must have been related at one point or another.

i will say, if i was married, i would not want my wife to burn. i say this in no way as insulting, but to me it feels selfish on the male's part to expect his mate to burn alongside his corpse.

the original Sati myth was quite moving as an /allegory/ for how much She defended the honor of Her husband Shiva.

@12325sunny How do you know he was in Pakistan ? And how do you he even exists ? Are you with him!!! I bet he was in India.

@MrAliAmerican what was osama bin laden doing in pak?

[wibas2008]

'Raja Rammohan Roy' the bengali reformist was hero behind abolishing this practise. How did he overturn a centuries old practise simply? Being educated who read Hindus holy texts like Vedas, Uphanishads. He challenged preists to show HIM ONE INSTANCE WHERE PRACTISE WAS MENTIONED IN HOLY TEXTS, they failed, Just FYI Kunti the mother of Pandavas (the protagonists of Mahabharata) was a window who never practised it. So this was cult that existed in India and not mentioned in any hindu holy texts

@GunitaSingh It isn't for our generation to judge that.. or do you want relligion wars back?

appreciate what you where given. Love and light to you ' that white anglo --'

[MrAliAmerican]

After seeing all this ? Do you still say Islam is barbarik ? Islam strictly condemns all this. See what hindism does ? Why then western media blames Islam ? Think!!!
