Why Hindus follows Mrutyu Sutak (Death Ritual Unhygienic conditions) ?
Hindu follow some rituals after the death of any Human being. That is called as Mrityu Sutak (Death ritual).
Death ritual are considered for twelve days. After the death of any person in any family, the whole family or dynasty peoples stay separate from society till the completion of death ritual. They don't go to place where society peoples gathered like temple and market. Even they are not allowed to touch society peoples and celebrate the festival during this period.
Due to such kinds of restriction, any person may think that all these are nonsense and blind faith. But on the basis of scientific evaluation, it should be done. In modern days, to stop prevention of epidemic or flu diseases through environment, patients are treated within some restricted area. Similarly, family or dynasty peoples of death person are restricted due to having doubt that the person died may have some epidemic diseases and peoples around that people also may have infection. Hence, the infection in family peoples of that death peoples are monitored upto 12 days. In olden days, there was no facilities to detect epidemic diseases and hence, such methods was being used to stop prevention of epidemic disease. Then a question arises in mind, then why it is followed for all kinds of death like accidental, endemic diseases and natural death. Here is the answer, in all kinds of diseases, immunity of human body get reduced and there is the probability to be infected by epidemic diseases.
Then another question arises, why it is followed only upto 12 days. In olden day, the incubation period of any diseases in human body was considered as approximately 12 days ( According to modern science incubation period may be more or less related to various diseases).
