Maybe a return to some good old fashioned colonialism is all that is needed. Here, here! Well, the British were able to get them to (largely) stop widow burning.

And to all the previous posters who've got their panties in a bunch over the 'religion of peace' and Islam, let us please be perfectly clear that the article does not point the finger at any particular religion - so no points there to prop up your prejudice du jour. If you were all a little more worldly, you'd realise that the story comes from South India, which is largely Hindu, but also home to followers of Jainism, Buddhism, Christianity and Islam. Repression of women under Hinduism is widespread in India, especially the more rural or poverty stricken parts. The tendency to see violence done to human beings with brown skin and immediately blame followers of Islam speaks volumes about the prejudices of the willfully ignorant.

I think knowing about important things happening in other countries is "neat". Keep it up, Neatorama. And stop slamming Islam, you ignorant jerks. There's justification for abusing those who are beneath you on the social scale in every conservative religion. Don't make me bring up the Crusades or the Hindu practice of sati.

What this boils down to is a corrupt system of law that treats women as second class citizens. You can't condemn Christianity because some nut job blows up an abortion clinic in the name of God. Same applies here. Truly horrible!

Yet alone the one that is supposed to love him. (I guess that's the way it works someplaces). I really cannot understand. But hey; I live in Switzerland. how am I supposed to understand other people for I only know my cheesing and cowbelling. Ah and mountains. I forgot the pink mountains. I am disturbed.
