What do you mean by this? This justifies SATI. This sounds like
	"others did injustice some other way 
	So we did it this way"
What a way to discuss an immoral act!  You say it is volunteering. This is the way
cultures apply peer presssure to make people do something immoral. It is the
duty of an educated broadminded person to condemn such acts. Do not blindly
defend something, just to show that you are patriotic or some thing.
