Several years ago in Rajasthan, an 18-year-old woman was burned on her husband's funeral pyre & thus became sati. Before ascending the pyre, she was expected to deliver both blessings & curses: blessings to guard her family & clan for many generations, & curses to prevent anyone from thwarting her desire to die. Sati also means blessing & curse in a broader sense. To those who revere it, sati symbolizes ultimate loyalty & self-sacrifice. It often figures near the core of a Hindu identity that feels embattled in a modern world. Yet to those who deplore it, sati is a curse, a violation of every woman's womanhood. It is murder mystified, & as such, the symbol of precisely what Hinduism should not be. In this volume a group of leading scholars consider the many meanings of sati: in India & the West; in literature, art, & opera; in religion, psychology, economics, & politics.

Kijk in dit boek achter de schermen van de mini-koningskwestie, waarbij Koning Boudewijn in de onmogelijkheid om te regeren wordt gesteld, zodat hij de abortuswet niet hoeft te tekenen. Op 30 maart 1990 stuurt Koning Boudewijn een brief naar eerste minister Martens. Daarin deelt hij hem mee dat hij vanwege gewetensbezwaren de nieuwe abortuswet niet kan ondertekenen. De premier en de vicepremiers zoeken dag en nacht naar een oplossing en stellen uiteindelijk voor om de Koning 'in de onmogelijkheid om te regeren'; te verklaren, zodat de ministers in zijn plaats de wet kunnen bekrachtigen. En zo gebeurde het. Er ging een schokgolf door het land. Het was 36 uur zonder Koning. Dit boek biedt nu een unieke blik achter de schermen van een van de spannendste episodes uit de recente Belgische politieke geschiedenis. Jan Velaers vertelt wat er zich tijdens de crisis van dag tot dag en van uur tot uur heeft afgespeeld. Hij plaatst de abortuswet en Boudewijns gewetensnood in hun context en belicht de opmerkelijke constitutionele oplossing die toen is bedacht. Voor het minutieuze relaas maakt hij onder andere gebruik van twee nooit eerder gepubliceerde ooggetuigenverslagen, één van André Alen, de toenmalige secretaris van de ministerraad, en één van toenmalig CVP-voorzitter Herman Van Rompuy. André Alen, die de politieke hoogspanning vanaf de eerste rij meemaakte en de grondwettelijke oplossing uitwerkte, kijkt in een persoonlijk getuigenis terug op de gebeurtenissen. 'De ministers reageerden enthousiast: "Dat is het! Dat is het!" Ik antwoordde: "Ja maar, it's a joke!"'; - André Alen over het moment waarop hij de 'onmogelijkheid om te regeren'; als uitweg uit de crisis op tafel legde
