If a culture believes in re-incarnations, what's to loose??????????????????????
I like India so no insult meant at their beliefs, but it's their belief so what threat is there in dying?
They don't get "Get Out of Jail Free" reincarnations. If bad deeds accumulate they will get reincarnated as an ant-eater or something. Plus not all Indians are Hindu/Buddhist. One of my Indian acquaintances is Jaineist and their religion is like the Quakers of Eastern Religions.
