Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a thought-provoking exploration of the practice of burning widows alive alongside their deceased husbands. While the practice is often perceived as deeply rooted in Hinduism, the author argues that it lacks explicit endorsement in authoritative Hindu scriptures. Instead, the author traces its prevalence to a combination of custom, misinterpretation of texts, and the self-serving interests of certain individuals. The book delves into the horrific nature of the practice, exposing the cruelty and lack of compassion it entails. It examines the devastating impact on families, particularly on young children who are left orphaned and traumatized. The author also sheds light on the deceptive tactics employed to persuade widows to sacrifice themselves, including false promises of eternal happiness and threats of social stigma. The book ultimately emphasizes the urgent need to abolish this barbaric custom and highlights the importance of protecting the rights and well-being of vulnerable individuals within society. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781334298981_0
