While suicide often comes with a depth of psychological rationale, self-immolation is a type of suicide that is deliberate self-harm for a religious or social cause and involves the individual setting themselves on fire. Self-immolation can be an individual act or one in a group. There is religious precedence for such suicide, through Sati practice or baptism by fire, and it is also used as a form of political or social protest such as a war. This book takes a look into the horrendous act of self-immolation, including the scope of suicide and self-harm, plus the notables that have resorted to this type of protest. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added.
