He is very definitely a theologian. He has spent quite a few years studying Indian philosophy and religion.
You can read more about it here.
Getting your news about Indian swamis from you is like asking an Al Qaeda guy his opinion of astrophysics.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”

We can tell caste by surname. But yes, you can change your name, and lot of people from the erstwhile lower castes do that.Originally posted by TCO

Nothing, really. It's been illegal since the time Raja Ram Mohun Roy got it outlawed, and the last time it happened for which clear documentation exists was a case in the year I was born (1987), and all the people accused were acquitted, because they could not be proved to be glorifying sati.. Now, the law states that even passive bystanders who are witnesses to sati are culpable for the crime.Originally posted by TCO
Oh and as long as you are answering the white gawkers: what up with the widow burning?
There were two recent cases, in 2006, but they happened when the wife evidently was suicidal, and in fact either forestalled or resisted efforts to save her:
The first case:

The second case:
Villagers say Prem Narayan died on Monday morning. His body was set alight by his family and villagers, after which people left for home.
They say Janakrani left her house after returning from the cremation telling people she had to attend to some work.
Madhya Pradesh
When villagers went looking for her they found her dead on the pyre, they said.

In neither of these cases was the woman compelled to do anything, so it is debatable whether or not they constitute the traditional "evil" sati, where the woman is forced onto the pyre by her relatives or by social pressures.
The officer said, "Since Lakhan's body was in a highly decomposed state, it was taken straight after the post-mortem for cremation. Vidyawati came down to the cremation ground on the pretext of offering her last homage to her husband, but no sooner was the pyre in full flames than she jumped into it."
Eyewitnesses told the police that one of her relatives did make an attempt to pull Vidyawati out, but failed to do so. Vidyawati was soon reduced to ashes before the eyes of scores of villagers who had gathered to attend the funeral.

How do you know that there aren't still cases of this in the countryside?“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”

I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.
