At one time in Guyana Hindu women would cover their heads at religious services. That has stopped. These bloody pandits needs to bring back the practice.

Why?  Do you also think that they should walk behind their husbands and be tossed into the fire when their husbands die as well? Or be tossed out of the house if they object if their in-laws abuse them, and their own family rejects them as being a disgrace?

We can go whole hog in resurrecting ancient customs, or we can let people be.  Cultures evolve over time and you living in your mixed ethnicity household will be fully aware of this. I bet your wife isn't going to fling herself into a funeral pyre just because this is ancient Indian custom.
