Talk:Tower of Silence

message: This article is very hard to understand for someone outside the Middle East. Could someone please spell out the basics in the opening paragraphs? I will give you my understanding of what I am reading. (I expect you to correct me!)
Here goes:  The Towers of the Dead are places where dead people are left, instead of burying or burning them. There is a lot of confusion about The Towers of the Dead, partly because they are used differently in Iran and in India, partly because they way they have been used over the centuries has changed, and partly because outsiders from the West have misunderstood what they are for, and partly because not enough care has been taken to identify the differences between different ways of treating the dead.
Is any of this right?

thread_title: Point of view

message: Why is the title of this article "Towers of Silence" rather than "Tower of Silence" (i.e. plural versus singular)? This appears to be in conflict with WP:PLURAL. Any thoughts before I move for a rename? --Yumegusa (talk) 11:44, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: As this appears uncontroversial, I've proceeded with the move. Compare Irish round tower, Synagogue, Cemetery etc. --Yumegusa (talk) 14:14, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Title 

message: "The decision to change the system was accelerated by three considerations: The first problem arose with the establishment of the Dar ul-Funun medical school. Since Islam considers unnecessary dissection of corpses as a form of mutilation, thus forbidding it, there were none to be had officially, and the dakhmas were repeatedly broken into, much to the dismay and humiliation of the community. "
"There were none to be had officially"...none of WHAT to be had? Corpses that the medical school could use, since other corpses were those of Muslims? No official barring of dissection? This needs to be clarified.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.145.251.34 (talk) 17:27, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
