When some Hindu priests complained to British General Sir Charles Napier ( 1782-1853 ) against the prohibition of sati ( the burning alive of widows ) he replied: " The burning of widows is your custom. But my nation's custom is to hang all men involved in burning a woman alive. So let us all act according to our national customs ".
