Heaven forbid that this led to any criticism of Hindus dumping their half-burnt dead into rivers to be dredged up and sold as fertilizer later...that would be 'religious intolerance' doncha know; regardless of how many people might get sick and die with BSE apparently some Indian scientists think that politically correct 'sensitivity' to Hindu religious customs is more important than mere human health, not to mention entire herds of cattle being slaughtered and the problems in varying degrees this has caused to the beef industry worldwide :-(.
