Indian men

God - this is so bloody morbid.

HYDERABAD, India (Reuters) - A professor of English in southern India loved his mother so much that he lived with her corpse for 20 years. When he died, the pair were laid to rest in the same grave.

Syed Abdul Gafoor's mother died in 1985, but he refused to bury her, authorities said. Instead, he preserved her body with chemicals and kept it at home in a glass case, causing his wife to leave him and sparking a social boycott in Siddavatta village in Andhra Pradesh state.

"He kept the body intact and lived in isolation till he died Saturday " district administrator Ashok Kumar told Reuters. Gafoor, 60, was buried along with his mother in a single grave near the village mosque according to his last wish, Kumar said.

Be warned!

Traditional Indian men are oft-times the most mommied of men to be found. No where is such blatant coddling seen in the Asian world than Indian men, where sons are prized to carry on the family name, women are traditionally expected to take a back seat in family matters, and most men expect to be fed and clothed and waited on hand and foot.


BUT that's my personal opinion. Of course, the fact that I am Asian and have seen some of these bloody "macho" men in action will have no bearing on the matter. Neither will my female friends' anecdotes of their own personal accounts be brought into play. Nor will my own personal experiences with Indian men be brought up.


I'm just sayin'.....
