All I ever read on MyLot ad other places is about how India wants to be this world power and how far they have come, etc etc. Then I read this today on CNN. They don't even properly bury their children.
I understand that Hindi tradition says to not cremate children, but to throw them in a polluter river!
Could they be more disrespectful?

It's really sad to read about it. Also, it is new to me. I hope they come out of this habit that is followed due to tradition. I think it happens in regions that is not developed. I have not heard such thing in cities. Poor children.

The area mention in the article is New Delhi which is the captial city in India. Apparently this occurs all over India.
