Image description

Tragic fanaticism. In Rajadhar, in central India, a 22-year-old widow, encouraged by fellow villagers, wanted to be burned alive at the burning stake to incinerate the body of her husband, an ancient Hindu custom, called Suttee and prohibited by law. Once the police intervened to prevent it, a very violent conflict was unleashed in which a policeman and an indigenous were killed and 17 other people seriously injured. Illustration for Courier Sunday, 22 April 1951.
