Sati - Sati was voluntarily performed based on overwhelming affection for the partner and a desire to follow him into the next life. Hindu texts forbid its performance in Kali-yuga, the present age. 2. Poverty - The affluent world often perceives a simple, rural life as abject poverty and a sign of social retardation. Hindus traditionally considered it virtuous to voluntarily accept an uncomplicated life for spiritual purposes. With different views on wealth, poverty, and success, the West is prone to hastily dismiss India’s socio-religious practices as backward and irrelevant. Nonetheless, poverty remains a real problem in many areas. 3. Polygamy Polygamy was made illegal in 1952. It was previously considered essential for a limited number of responsible and qualified men to redress the gender imbalance in a society where practically all women were supposed to get married and significant numbers of men remained celibate. 24  HINDUISM TABOOS In Hinduism, actions that are prohibited or considered taboo have a Sanskrit word called Adharma which means bad deed with the opposite being dharma meaning good deed.
