Be careful about those "kitchen fires" in India....

------------------------------------------
Quote:

"Moreover, ancient Indian custom and religious violence has resurfaced of
late, even in the heart of modern India's capital. Hundreds of 'accidental
deaths' of young Indian brides from burns by 'kitchen fires' are now
reported annually in the Delhi region alone. In fact, these dowry deaths
are known to be maliciously inflicted murders, often planned or
perpetuated by the dissatisfied husband and his parents, who feel that the
former bride's family failed to pay the prearranged 'price' promised
during dowry negotiations. Recently in Rajasthan, open revival and
glorification of _Sati_ widow-burning ceremonies has led to a number of
arrests and vigorous official action in charging the cultprits with
'murder.' Thus, even though Sati-immolations were outlawed by the British
in 1829, and the offer or acceptance of a dowry of any size is against
modern current Indian law, ancient practice continues. The past clings to
Indian's silken saried civilization and its flames continue to consume the
sacrificial bodies of young brides and widows, as they did for thousands
of years, while the sacred mantras of Brahmans filled the air as Agni's
flames 'liberated' the immortal souls from fast-burning fles."
