Pig Heads Sent to Mosque in South Korea - India's Widow Sacrifice Ritual Sparks Debate

To answer Suzzana's question at 55:40 Hement Metta made a video on southern baptist churches doing what the catholic church does. This should meet her criteria of another organization doing what the catholic church does and it still being funded or it still being around. https://youtu.be/6TPmM2Rhfsw

And here's another conversation about sati by dr Jain. she's only academic person who has actually dwelled into dynamics of sati https://www.youtube.com/live/Y_CH4Nq2Fb0?feature=share

Here's Meenakshi Jains take over this issue://youtu.be/ixktfF_KyDI

The right revisits sati not much about story of sati in different ways... While leftist like Katy simp for William Bentinck for banning sati to justify need to bramhinical colonise savages, the right explores this as marking point for start of white liberal nationalist globalisation that manufactures stories to justify their need of intervention through manipulated stories & numbers ..(which it still continues to do, AR unintentionally peddling lies would be great way to demonstrate this phenomenon).. infact british pondering over phenomenon of sati was first precursor of what White liberals have been doing

One more way to demonstrate this would be exploring jauhar and saki.. during an invasion (especially during Islamic invasions ) when Hindus would realise that they are grossly outnumbered and outpowered, warrior men would drees in saffron with aim to die in hand of enemy fighting . The warfare strategies shift from defense to offense. Meanwhile women fashion themselves with all precious ornaments and burn themselves in fort,to make war with Hindu tribes as minimally profitable as possible.. role of women and men though seems different functionally ,the act appears to be Directed towards same purpose

My Personal criticism about this take--while woman is supposed to burn herself to vanish from public life, after husband is supposed appoint successor & leave all his assets go on travelling until death... if women would not vulnerable as men, we probably would expect women leaving societies too... isn't this sign of man dedicating his towards woman?

Here's how left is interpreting.. they are more into patriarchal Idea and nature of sutee than data, number or societal realities in which sati happen https://youtu.be/KRODR6ufOtQ .

2) there's no debate sparked over sati because of this incident..however the perceived the Left and the Right of India have started to re-analyse sati in last few years .. Both seem to in agreement with the fact that sati wasn't forced onto women in most of the cases.

1)Sati is done when husband is cremated not afterwards.. the demand for window by in-laws to become sati for months just doesn't add up.. even if this is death declaration..it doesn't pass smell taste.. seems like there was deep toxic relationship playing in background
