Laudable step to transform traditions
While the land is falling short for traditional burials in the graveyards, the step by the Christian community to adopt the Hindu tradition of cremating the bodies and then burying the urns containing the ashes in some districts of Uttar Pradesh is laudable. It requires less space and also ensures that the COVID infection does not spread.
This is the first time that Christians are cremating the bodies and then burying the urns with ashes. People are doing this on their own and there is no compulsion from the church. The decision may be transforming traditions and building up harmony in the society.
