Excerpt from this podcast:
"You're saying 'Anything goes. Anything can be done in the name of cultural values.' In the 19th century, the British outlawed the practice of Bride burning...in India. And of course, the Indians protested and said, 'These are Indian cultural values. Basically, we've been burning our brides for centuries. This is the Indian way.' And the British said, 'Well, if that's the Indian way, it's the British said,'It's the British way to hang people who do those things. So you do it your way and we'll do it our way,'"
