That is the Jugganaut sacrifice ritual. It goes back centuries. Part of ancient Saturn worship.

By dying in the most holy state they hope to be reborn at a higher level 'next time'

It is a death cult ultimately derived from ancient Saturn worship. They have been throwing themselves under the wheels of the juggernaut for centuries.

It is considered the highest religious honour. They do this under trains too.

Don't let these Indian flags make jokes about this. This is a sacrifice ritual that dominates their society. They put that wheel on their flag.

Why do you think they are so keen to throw themselves under trains? It is the same ritualistic behavior. Notice they always have someone ready to film that don't they?

>They certainly have now stopped throwing themselves under.
Don't be so sure. We thought they'd stopped burning widows alive and performing other human sacrifices, until recently when evidence to the contrary started surfacing. They consider those bans vestiges of colonialism.

>The juggernaut is a religious thing (and of uncertain historocity)
Is this bait?

Neat, thanks for the link. We have photographic evidence as well e.g. picrel. The biggest crime the British may have committed in india was perhaps stopping jeets from killing themselves.
