Openly no it is not practised.
But quietly yes it is still practised by many people in the backward areas of India.

It is usually spelt Suttee and it was the practice where widows would put themselves on the funeral pyre of their dead husbands and burn with them. The practice was outlawed by the British and the Indian government forbids it today. There might, however, still be the occasional event.

Absolutely Not. Perhaps in the last sixty years of Independence we havnt witness more than 10 cases.

I do not know what SATI is, but I think they will worship many "gods", and I suppose that is why it seems many of them would prefer A ONE WORLD RELIGION, then they would be able to worship SATAN and really be cast down to hell...
HMMM
Scary???
No.
Too STERIOTYPICAL, yeah, maybe...
So then forgive me, but maybe you could tell me what SATI is?
