"Firstly, respect all cultures. Now look at those nasty British Imperialists!"

about burning women on the funeral pyres of their husbands - the practice is called Sati. it is an abominable practice, however there have been circumstances where this has been condoned and even venerated - for example the sacrifice of the women of Chittorgarh in the face of an invading Mogul army and certain rape and indignity - the Moguls won the war but when they entered the fort they found only the charred remains of Maharani Padmini and the ladies of the court( this is referred to as Jauhar), there have been cases of women performing Sati voluntarily as they have do not want to survive their husbands for whatever reasons.

obviously people in the UK are not culturally evolved enough to understand this spirit of sacrifice or this strength of character - hence the prejudice.

Zuma is absolutely right about the British - so is the Daily Mail about him - he is a vile bafoon
