Burning the Dead
Author: David Arnold
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520976649
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
Burning the Dead traces the evolution of cremation in India and the South Asian diaspora across the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Through interconnected histories of movement, space, identity, and affect, it examines how the so-called traditional practice of Hindu cremation on an open-air funeral pyre was culturally transformed and materially refashioned under British rule, following intense Western hostility, colonial sanitary acceptance, and Indian adaptation. David Arnold examines the critical reception of Hindu cremation abroad, particularly in Britain, where India formed a primary reference point for the cremation debates of the late nineteenth century, and explores the struggle for official recognition of cremation among Hindu and Sikh communities around the globe. Above all, Arnold foregrounds the growing public presence and assertive political use made of Hindu cremation, its increasing social inclusivity, and its close identification with Hindu reform movements and modern Indian nationhood.

Immolating Women
Author: Jörg Fisch
Publisher: Orient Blackswan
ISBN:
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 628
Book Description
Widow Burning In India, Also Known As Sati, Has Been For Centuries A Widely Known And Hotly Debated Phenomenon, Both Inside And Outside The Country. But Its More Universal Anthropological, Religious, Social And Political Contexts Have Been Neglected. In This Book, Sati Is Studied For The First Time In A Really Global Context. It Is Considered As One Among Many Manifestations Of Following Into Death Within A Ritualized And Public Act, Voluntarily Or Involuntarily. The Decisive Feature Is Thus Not The Manner Of Dying, But The Function And The Intent: That Is, To Accompany A Dead Person Into The Hereafter. The Custom Is Shown To Have Existed In Various Forms In Most Parts Of The World And To Have Combined Strong Beliefs In The Hereafter With Power Struggles In This World, Both Between The Sexes And Between Social Groups.
