Where Vultures Eat Human Corpses

Parsis are members of the Zoroastrian community based in India & many of them dwell in Bombay City of India. Parsis are descendents of Persian Zoroastrians who emigrated to the India over 1,000 years ago to escape the religious persecution after the Islamic Conquest over there.

Indian Parsis have a tradition that after the death of a person in their community / family, they leave the corpse in open at the Towers of Silence - the Funeral Place of the Parsis, where the corpses are devoured by vultures. Though it may seem to be a weird tradition among the community but it is happening since very long past time. Now this weird tradition of devouring the corpses by vultures is not working properly as in the Bombay City, where most of Parsis community is there, vulture population in the city is decreasing day by day & it takes months for a body to be devoured by these vultures while deaths are happening at its own pace.

Now what the Parsis community should do? It is more advisable to either put the body to flames like done in Hindu Tradition or Bury it, as done in Muslim & Christen religion. Otherwise also if you live with your loved ones for the whole of the life, his/her body should be given a respectable treatment after death & should not be left to be eaten by vultures. Let us show our love & respect to our Loved ones even after their death, irrespective of our religion.

Subscribe to Weird India Subscribe to Weird India in MY YAHOO! Subscribe to Weird India in MY GOOGLE! Subscribe to Weird India in MY MSN! Subscribe to Weird India in MY AOL! Subscribe to Weird India in Rojo!
India is unique in many ways. It is world's biggest democracy & in this big country with 1.1 billion people there is a bank which solely operates for Prostitutes of Calcutta City. It was started 12 years ago & is so successful now that it plans now to have 12 branches in the state of West Bengal - India.

Bank's name is Usha Multipurpose Co-operative Society & is doing good business. Opening procedures for accounts for Prostitutes in this bank are very easy which are otherwise cumbersome in all other banks in Calcutta city for such group. Bank plans to increase its membership to 20,000. It is giving loans to Prostitutes for building their own homes & educating their children.

Indeed this bank is doing welfare to this group in society. Kudos to the bank.
