That was in India and was about a very peculiar and bizarre sect of sadhus that live among the corpses of the burning ghats. That isn’t representative of India or Hinduism in the least. In India, religious freedom means having to tolerate a lot of crazy cults. Apparently these clowns seek to find self realization by embracing everything that normal Hindus consider corrupt and profane. Moreover, they’re not stupid or primitive, they looked like they were having a bit of fun at the CNN reporter’s expense.
I agree with ichabod1, having been a student of Hinduism for decades. The fringe “tantrics” are not even following any authentic Vedic texts, and are shunned by regular Hindus. The freak TV dude must have gone way out of his way to even find them.
