Hindus (For once)

[Julnar]

Should Hindus be offered specialist sites that would enable them to cremate their dead relatives in the open air, which is more in keeping with their traditions?

Personally, if dedicated sites were provided around the country, I wouldn't have a problem with the practice. It's not as if they are asking for permission to light fires on the local recreational ground whilst I'm having a picnic with my family.

I don't have a problem with it in principle but where do you draw the line?

While there is a religious basis for it there is no practical one, give in to this religious freedom what comes next.

I was reading this in the Express. It also said that the eldest son had to break the skull to let the soul out..!!!
