Brahmins are the Jews of India – Jakob De Roover

[Crystal-Clear]

Nope.

In Sati and Johar you kill yourself, you do not have the right to kill others.

by others you means animal ?

well ( most of the world) . we treat them as a source of food . not as a god .

 

[El Sidd]

LOL..... but you were the one thanking him. Were you not ?

Did Abraham do that too?

 

[YogaMudra]

So you eat live plants? Don't you kill plants before eating them? Or do you not consider plants to have life?

They are a lower life form. Even an insect is an life form, but higher than a plant.

Most Vegetarians (especially brahmins and jains) eat fruits and vegetables that are grown from the plant, and in the process, we do not kill the plant. They even avoid onion, potato , garlic etc. because that kills the plant when you pluck them.

That's why they were domesticated in the first place

Yes, your greed, not your need. Which is what I said.

He certainly inspired that, din't he ?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sati_(practice)

In 1968, Eberhard stated that the practice of widow burning was observed inside China, but was rare and influenced by India.[43] Chinese sociology studies that followed suggest that the practice was historically more widespread, far removed from India (near the Korean peninsula), and found among the Manchu people of China where a widow would ritually commit suicide after her husband died (Chinese: xunsi, congxun).[44][45][46] After her suicide, she was socially celebrated as a virtuous chaste widow.[45][47][note 4] This Altaic tradition was not limited to the Manchu people of China, but also found in other Chinese ethnic groups.[49] The practice of self-immolation and other forms of public suicide by widows were observed, for example, in Fukien province of southeast China, in some cases in duress after a rape attempt and in other cases voluntarily without duress.[50]

A similar practice of widow suicide to follow her husband or fiancé, states Hai-soon Lee, existed in medieval Korea, in accordance with the traditional Confucian ethos.[51] According to Martina Deuchler, this practice was praised as misok (beautiful custom), and the dead widow praised as "faithful wife", in the historic Korean culture and literature.[52]

Historical documents attest to the public self-immolation practice (self cremation, as shaoshen 燒身 or zifen 自焚)[53] among Buddhist nuns (and monks) in ancient and medieval China for religious reasons.[54][55][56] This was considered as evidence of a renunciant bodhisattva, and may have been inspired by the Jataka tales wherein the Buddha in his earlier lives immolates himself to assist other living beings,[57] or teachings in the Lotus Sutra.[58] The Chinese Buddhist asceticism practices, states James Benn, were not an adaptation or import of Indian ascetic practices, but an invention of Chinese Buddhists, based on their unique interpretations of Buddhists texts.[59] It may be an adoption of more ancient pre-Buddhist Chinese practices.[60][61]

In modern times, Buddhist nuns have used self-immolation as a form of protest. Thich Nu Thanh Quang, a Buddhist nun publicly burnt herself to death in front of Diệu Đế Pagoda in central Vietnam, as a mark of protest against the Vietnam War.[62][63][64] Her death triggered a wave of similar self-immolations by other nuns and monks as the war continued.[62]

Note this word: "widow". It means her husband is dead, not insulted. Why would a wife sacrifice herself when her husband is still alive?

Errr.... NO.

Cows were domesticated for Milk, chickens for eggs. Bulls for farming. Horses for riding. etc.

Sati is done by widows.

Only the original Sati was done when her husband was insulted by her own Father. Its a long story. You can google it up.

But not for worship that is what I was referring too

 

[YogaMudra]

@nang2, if you had seen "Enter the dragon" you will remember Bruce Lee's sister killed herself before she was "dishonoured".

But not for worship that is what I was referring too

Its more civilized to worship those who help you survive in society, than to kill and eat them.

Well India should station troops in Afghanistan then....

The oppression of Hindus must stop

 

[Ace of Spades]

Enough of this sati and animal sacrifice talk. Who is up for a beef steak?

 

[YogaMudra]

Nice try at deflection.

So is cow or any mammal a higher or equal to lifeform than humans?

That sounds like Chinese. But never would any Chinese woman do so when others (husband, brothers, fathers, etc) are or will be dishonored.
