India and China both burn/cremate dead bodies. it is clean and saves land and prevents spread of disease. Its cumpolsory among Indian Hindus and ALL Chinese. the Zoroastrian Indians feed their bodies to dead vultures. same case with some Indian and CHinese Tibetans who leave ther bodies out in the open for animals and birds of prey to devour. Even my people leave the bodies in the bush for animals and bacteria. these are the best ways and saves natural resources and land. |

It's done in Spain,but i had no clue why its been done but has noting to do with their religion and culture. Some do voluntarily donate their body before their death for to help those that might need it or for research.. |

It is a religious and cultural thing. And it is not only INDIANS that cremate or burn dead bodies. Cremation is practiced in many parts of the world, even in the UK, see statistics here: http://crematorium.eu/statistics-european-countries.html |

necessity is part of what forms culture & to an extent religion in a society. I believe the large population & the need for land made it suit their culture to burn the dead. |

To avoid what we see in Naija muvees.. Take for instance my Neighbor dies, God forbid, If he appears to me, I can easily differentiate btw the real him and a spirit, Cuz i would tell the spirit that i fncking burnt you mehnn who dey "F" owns dis body? |
Re: Why Do Indians Burn Their Dead Bodies? by Nobody: 2:28pm On Aug 14, 2012 |
Me, what I heard was that they burn their dead bodies to 'trick' God so that He can't put them in the HELL FIRE. Since they were already 'burn to ashes' here on earth, they think God cannot raise them back to life in the hereafter. |
Re: Why Do Indians Burn Their Dead Bodies? by Nobody: 2:32pm On Aug 14, 2012 |
So that they can use the ashes in the preparation of delicacies like Chicken Masala Chicken Madras Chicken Tikka Lamb Vindaloo and other currys they eat with Basmatti rice |
