almost all cultures have condemned cannbalism. The few cultures that have accepted it have usually used it to terrify enemies of to terrify subject peoples. Hinduism has also condemend cannibalism except for a small number of the Aghori Hindu sect.
This Hindu sect shares the same basic prisciples as the "Holy Fools" tradition of Russian Orthodox Christianity where normal religious / social customs can be violated (to degrees) by certain mystics. The degree of permissible violation seems far greater with Aghoris. As a side note, Raputin was a "Holy Fool" who used the sect's rule breaking expectations as a cover for personal influence. Aghoris probably attract similar individuals.
I would not be surpired if a certain number of mentally ill have found refuge in Aghori groups or and that many of the most extreme Aghori practices are indicative of mental illness, not spirituality.
Aghoris were not kicked out of banaras, my dad visited banaras and aghoris are there in huge numbers, most hindus respect them. In the middle ages mughals actually kicked them out of the city and thats why they went to the forests of bengal, but since India became an independant country in 1947 they came back and now are respected, even though their practices are satanic
I was not refering to all aghoris being kicked out of Banaras, just the group practicing cananbalism. The producers then stated that the group in question were outcastes and lived down stream from the city. That is how they obtain the corpses.
I just saw a video which is really disturbing, i will post it later if you guys alow. Apprantly this hindu sect eats rotten uncooked flesh of humans, pigs, dogs, rats, they even eat their feces and drink their own urine. Many hindus actually have respect for these people, most of them live in the hindu holy city of Banaras, they just collect dead floating human bodies from Ganges and eat them
I do not know about rats, dogs etc, but I saw a video of the Aghori sect eating the decaying human body from the Ganges. In fairness, that group was very small (a sect with in a sect), had been kicked out of the main Aghori temple and lived outside of Banaras.
I bet more than a few Aghoris are simply mentally ill. Hindus should recognize this and codemn their "practices". The fact that Hinduism is such an open religion allows the actions of mentally ill people to be given a religous aura.

Uncooked pig?, not for me. Cooked pig, however, is delicious. Trust me.
