ICHEOKU says India needs to seriously rethink how it disposes human cadavers following the overwhelming COVID-19 deaths which has brought their practice to the fore and highlighted the inherent shortcomings in it. People are literary inhaling burnt human flesh which technically could pass for cannibalism and you wonder the lasting trauma which the unintended consequences must leave in the palates of these undertakers. Yes, it is their religious tinged practice, but since modernization have impacted every facet of humanity why not also the manner of disposing human remains. Modern crematoriums and incinerators should seriously be considered by the Indian government as alternative going forward and they should also ban the practice of open funeral pyres. It is shocking to so many civilizations that in this 21st century India human remains are still being disposed of like burnt offerings and in this open public manner. Our hearts are with Indian people in this time of great tribulation in their land but they can do better by modernizing accordingly.
