Summary: Death by religion in India
Comment: A powerful account of a disturbing aspect of India's rich cultural history, 'Ashes of Immortality' tells the sickening story of a tradition which is still present in certain parts of the great sub-continent.

The simplicity with which the text is written belies the tragedy of these women who gave up their lives for a religious belief which some might argue only serves to degrade their gender.
