In 1829 Great Britain outlaws “suttee” (or Sati) in India, a Hindu practice where a widow burns herself to death on her husband’s funeral pyre, willing or unwillingly\u2014 was first encountered by the British in India shortly after their arrival.<\/h2>\n

The Story of the Burning Widow<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The word\u00a0sati\u00a0<\/em>in India is synonymous with \u2018good wife\u2019, originating from an Indian myth of\u00a0the\u00a0<\/em>Sati, the Goddess Durga, who self-immolated because she was unable to bear her husband, Shiva\u2019s, humiliation. The Indian practice of\u00a0sati<\/em>, which Reverend James Peggs zealously campaigned to outlaw, is when a widow, self-immolates by throwing herself onto her husband\u2019s funeral pyre, to burn to death alongside him.<\/h2>\n

In pre-colonial India, support for\u00a0sati<\/em>\u00a0was slowly diminishing, yet, with British occupation of India, the debate over\u00a0sati\u00a0<\/em>was reinvigorated, and three prominent groups established themselves in the campaign to\u00a0finally<\/em>\u00a0outlaw this cruel, obsolete practice. These groups consisted of the British officials; Evangelical missionaries; and the elite Indian males. Reverend Peggs is a perfect illustration of the British missionaries who armed themselves with scripture to \u2018civilise\u2019 the natives, and were the most vehement voice in the campaign to outlaw\u00a0sati.<\/em>\u00a0Yet, as Lata Mani observes \u201cthe ignominy of\u00a0sati\u00a0<\/em>does not\u2026lie only in the cruelty of the practice\u2026it rests equally and inextricably in the place accorded to the outlawing of\u00a0sati<\/em>\u201d<\/h2>\n
