In reply to Diane Bailey:

In the last decade or so, there has been one case of satti, in Rajasthan
(?), the
Roop Kanwar (?) case.

Satti is illegal, but the problem is there is still a set of people among whom 
Satti is considered respectable.

The only `justification' for Satti is tradition; there is no scriptural
or religious
sanction for the practice.

The best explanation I have seen about the sociological reasons for
satti is that
it stems from greed.  There have been various Hindu codes of law in effect in
different parts of the country at different times with varying rights
for women.
 Where the woman has few or no inheritance rights, satti was rare. Where the 
widow is the primary  beneficiary of her husband's estate, satti was much more 
common.  Of course, there were places where women had full rights but there
was no satti.  Thus, where the custom of satti  existed in tradition and
had social 
sanction, it was exploited by greedy relatives.

A similar effect is being seen among the tribals of Bihar, it is
reported. Since
modern India has given the tribal woman more inheritance rights, the incidents
of `witch-burning' have also increased.

The problem of aborting female fetuses, and of female infanticide is quite 
separate from the problem of Satti, though all are connected with the low
status of women in Indian society.

Finally, joining or not joining a UN convention on anything has hardly any 
meaning. You will find that the US has not ratified most of the UN conventions
on human rights, if you care to look. What matters most is the sense of
right and
wrong the people of India have and practice, not UN conventions.

In response to Arindam Ghosh's question:
Please, refer your questions on Islam to soc.religion.islam.
IMHO, SCB should not be used to ask questions on any
religion, and instead should dedicate itself to discussing
issues concerning Bangladeshi social/cultural/economic
(I, however, do not deny the fact that culture does include
religious practices) issues. Often times, the SCB has been
used as a forum for attacks on religion.

I would, therefore, request all the readers of SCB to stop
using SCB for religious discussions. There are several
Net groups, besides the SRI which discusses issues
pertaining to religious inquiry, please, use them
whenever necessary.

Thanks.

Do excuse me for adding to my previous message. I don't mean to be so
horribly analytical about something which is the farthest thing from
precise. Although love is a rather strong emotion (I am discussing the
love which is the foucs of most discussion i.e. "mohabbat/prem"), it
causes rather unpredictable outcomes to occur. People are either extremely
happy(ecstatic, rather) or extremely distressed . In cases they are
alternatively one or the other. Often they don't know whether they are
happy or sad in love. To highlight the latter, the phrase "falling in love"
seems rather apt, as opposed to "picking yourself up in love" which has never
been a popular phrase. I guess "falling" is thus the appropriate word, as many
have been known to take a tumble after taking the plunge, so to speak.
The contradictions of love are also evident from the fact that though it
should make the afflicted person happy, it often hurts them . But then,
which great British poet said "It is better to have loved and lost than
not to have loved at all". I must say, these philosophical discussions are
sometimes a nice change from thr routine.

I have had bad experiences with Air India, Indian Airlines and the Indian
Embassy in D.C. I do not want to go into the details here. Whenever I related
my experiences to others, there were always people relating their good
experiences. Which is ok and in fact I feel good when I hear positive
experiences of any nature. But more often than not,these people say/imply
"you are expecting too much/ we Indians always find fault with Indian organizations/others are equally bad/may be you are the problem ...." etc etc etc.

THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR POOR SERVICE, PERIOD. IF ONLY 1% of the people
have had bad experiences, that is STILL UNACCEPTABLE. I am not complaining about
systems in India (except Indian Airlines, but strike that example, if you want)
such as telephones, Madras auto rickshaw drivers etc. Air India is an
international airline and Indian Embassy is located in the USA where
even minimum wage earners are polite and serve with a smile.

Ahhh......
Your undivided attention please :).


I narrated in a previous tale how I lost my passport. Well, my duplicate
passport does not have the 5 year mul. entry visa (till Dec 1995) that was
on the original passport. Now I am going home this December. Also I am 
graduating with an M.S. this December. I anticipate support for my Ph.D.
to be forthcoming in the coming month or so, but from a different University.
That means I have to get a new I-20. Can I go to Madras, which was the 
issuing office for the Visa, and will I have any problems getting them to
restamp my passport with the original Visa? Do I have to show them my new
I-20? Or should I not submit my thesis till I come back from India? 

Your most excellent views will be most gratefully acknowledged. Please spare 
some of your most valuable time to grant your invaluable advice :).

How familiar! When the wife of one of my rich uncles died, I did suggest
to him that Aunty must be feeling very lonely and that it would be a
good idea for him to join his wife in the next world as early as
possible. Quite magnanimously and with the most altruistic of motives,
of course, I even volunteered to manage his estate, large though it was.
For some reason or other which I cannot decipher, he seems to have
become annoyed at my generosity and has refused to speak to me ever
since.

The journalistic style used in most Indian newspapers is far inferior
to that used in US. Compare Indian Express (The Hindu is a pleasing
exception) to either The New York Times or Wall Street Journal. Both
NYT and WSJ are extremely punctilious about their articles. The lead
writers in general have fabulous sense of timing, coherence, use of
words and thought transition. 

So, aping western newspapers is not necessarily bad. I for one fervently
wish they do at least with respect to their style.

	Sati, a practice by Hindus in India had nothing to do with Hinduism.
It was just a way of formal murder of a widow by her relatives from her
husband's side. The main purpose was getting rid of someone who could claim
her husband's property. There was a side story too. Usually the widows
were very young. So it was very probable that they might become pregnant
and be a cause of shame for her near ones.(In that case the only way out was
committing suicide)
	Teachings of Upanishads and vedas can never recommend such a recipe
for any person.

While I don't know any Sinhalese , the corresponding Bengali word
for 'cabinet' is 'almari' . This word seems likely to have been 
derived from the Portuguese 'armario' that you mention. 

A common word for shirt in many North Indian languages is , of course,
'kamij' , which would seem to be derived from the word 'camisa' that
you mention.
