A human rights campaigner in India has criticised the award of a government job to a woman who cut off part of her tongue "to honour" a politician.
SV Raja Durai said the decision to give K Sarita a job preparing meals in schools would encourage copycat acts.
Ms Sarita maimed herself as an offering to the chief minister of Tamil Nadu state, and only swift medical help saved her tongue.
The case is not the first instance of maiming for "honour" in Tamil Nadu.
A statement released by the government of Tamil Nadu said that Ms Sarita was an ardent supporter of Jayalalithaa's AIADMK party and prayed for divine intervention to secure victory in recently-concluded state elections. More...
