You willl probably not able to take the teasing mate , its not abt secularism or not secularism.
and in amother thread we have discussed till the pee turned black , that its BHARTIYA (INDIAN) not BHARATYA (?)
It is for me to decide, and not for u to decide if I can take the teasing.
Is this another trick by an Indian to fool us with the cuning ways.

Not all of them burn to ashes due to poverty in most of cases the costly wood used for burning the dead bodies is not sufficient for truning it to complete ashes.
We have cases and scenes where half burnt dead bodies are drawn out by animals or eaten by vultures.

Sir, this is not religion, this is something related to culture of a group of people.
By the way why are you asking the mods to close the thread sir? What is your problem? Be specific... what is your problem? Are you one of those sahdus who eat rotten and raw human flesh?

yar there are alot of debate on religion in different threads.What we all know that most of the Hindus do NOT follow this ritual.
So you being a Hindu can explain in a better way that why some/few/certain people practice this.

I am also very curious to know why do they do so? How is that related to any religion? If this is called religion, then I think religion needs to get redefined.
This practice is so primitive, barbaric and brutal. Are they sages or savages?

That's what i was wondering, all this is taking place in open before the lens, i am sure in any culture or religion, the deceased should have some state of respect.

An American cannibal amongst the Aghori
Last week Bong Breaker contended that if there is a post on Sepia Mutiny about “Raw meat” then chances are that it may be one written by me. I hate to be predictable but I hate to disappoint even more. An SM tipster sends us the following article about cannibalism in India from Student Newspaper.org:
As we shared a bumpy auto-rickshaw journey between two North Indian villages, I began to realise that the frail old man I was rubbing thighs with was in fact a cannibal who claimed that babies taste “fresh” whereas the corpses of older people have a “stringy texture like wood”. Gary Stevenson (the name he used to introduce himself) then proceeded to illustrate and justify his preference for younger human flesh through the comparison of superior-tasting lamb over mutton…
Once we were sitting comfortably, Stevenson eagerly whipped out the skull of a young girl that he “dragged out of the Ganges” and carries with him at all times, proudly stroking the smooth bone and proclaiming the cranium to be the finest from his expansive collection. Licking his lips, my congenial cannibal enthusiastically described the sensation of eating his own species: “Human flesh smells like rawhide and tastes like pork. The fingers are the most succulent part,” declaring the practice of devouring corpse meat to be a sacred primordial ritual which still occurs amongst radical Hindu Aghoris in certain parts of India.
Houston-born Stevenson [a.k.a. Kapal Nath], who has come to be known as the “American Aghori”, told me of how he has roamed India for years in search of enlightenment, feasting on the remains of the Hindu dead “as often as possible…” [Link]
I didn’t know that there were any Hindu cannibals. It seems like such a contradiction in terms at its face. At first the only thing I could find was that National Geographic once featured a segment about them and that Wikipedia has a short entry about their ways:
A sect who them selves relates to the order of lord Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction. Aghori means non-terrifying in Sanskrit. The sect is peculiar with its rituals and way of life. This extremely shy and secretive community is known to live in the graveyards, wearing the ash from the pyre, use human bone from the graveyards for the rituals.
The sect dates back to around 1000 A.D., and practices cannibalism in the belief that eating human flesh confers spiritual and physical benefits, such as prevention of aging.
A little more digging revealed that a ten minute documentary about the Aghori titled, “Feeding on the Dead” was completed just a couple of months ago by director Sandeep Singh:
While the sect has been written about, they’ve rarely been filmed performing rituals. Director Sandeep Singh, who shut down his transport business to pursue filmmaking, said it took him more than three months to gain the trust of an Aghori sadhu and convince him to be filmed while performing a cannibalistic ritual… There are about 70 Aghori sadhus at a given time, and they remain with the sect for 12 years before returning to their families. Unlike other Hindu holy men, most of whom are vegetarian teetotalers, the Aghoris consume alcohol and meat.
But it is their consumption of human flesh - a practice whose origins remain a mystery - which has earned them the condemnation of other Hindus and relegated most Aghori sadhus to living around crematoriums in the hills of northern India around the holy city of Varanasi, where the documentary was filmed.
Singh and three cameramen waited with an Aghori sadhu - whose name is not mentioned in the film - for 10 days in June before finding a floating corpse. Hindus generally cremate the dead, but bodies are sometimes ceremonially disposed of in the Ganges.
“The body was decomposed and bluish in color, but the sadhu was not afraid about falling sick,” Singh told The Associated Press in an interview Wednesday. “He sat on the corpse, prayed to a goddess of crematoriums and offered some flesh to the goddess before eating it…” [Link]
Discussing the Aghori seems like a touchy subject. A few years ago the Tampa Tribune had a macabre article (a must read) about them and this same Gary Stevenson (a.k.a Kapal Nath) which angered many in the Hindu community:
A June 2 story in the Tampa Tribune about cannibalism in India has angered Indian Americans, who said the article paints a sensationalistic picture of their homeland and the Hindu religion, reports San Leandro, Calif. weekly India West…
The story sparked complaints. “(It) gives the impression that foreigners come to India, get lost and are eaten by cannibals,” complained Tampa engineer Nainan Desai, who is leading efforts to organize protests. There are over 10,000 Indians in the Tampa Bay area. Indians are aggrieved that their country and religion are being mischaracterized by the story. [Link]
Getting back to the story of this backpacker and her encounter with the American Aghori from Texas, it seems like she just managed to avoid ending up as a meal:
Later that day, as I searched for links between “Gary Stevenson”, “Kapal Nath” and “cannibalism” in an internet café, I discovered some disconcerting information; the man I had spent the afternoon conversing with was not only telling the truth about his human-eating habits, but had previously been locked up in a secure psychiatric unit in America. Nath is currently wanted by the FBI for questioning in connection with several missing backpackers whom the government suspect may have been ritually sacrificed and consumed by cannibals in India. Although relieved by my lucky escape, I felt somewhat offended that Nath was evidently not tempted to eat me. If only all the other men in India had as little carnal interest in me.
An American cannibal amongst the Aghori - Sepia Mutiny
An article I found when I was trying to google more about these guys, couldn't read the whole thing but the interesting thing that happen though was that my Indian colleague who is a Gujarati Hindu started looking at my screen and inquired about the article. When I told him that I was reading about this guys he couldn't tell me much but did warn me about the powers that they posses saying that if they curse come one and say that so and so will happen to you that actually does happens.
