Abolition of Sati: History & Facts

Have you watched the movies Padmaavat, Prithviraj Chauhan and Mangal Pandey? These movies displayed the practice of Sati and Jauhar in which women were burnt alive if their husbands were dead. In 1724, at the funeral of Ajit Singh of Marwar Jodhpur, sixty-six women were burned alive; similarly, eighty-four women sacrificed their lives at the funeral of Budh Singh (a king of Bundi). From this, we can say that it became a common practice in ancient India. However, even after the abolishment, the practice continued in most rural regions of India and gained all the controversial aspects of all time. So, let’s discuss Sati in detail, starting from who Sati is to where this practice stands in Modern India.

Who is Sati?

The word ‘Sati’ originated from Goddess Sati, as she was the first woman to initiate this practice. On the one hand, Sati was regarded as a glorious, dignified sacrifice and a way to clear the spouse’s sins; on the other hand, some people considered it their private matter to accompany their loved one to death.

What is Sati's custom?

Hinduism is the oldest religion, following various practices, among which Sati custom was constant for a very long time. Sati, aka “suttee”, is the practice of burning a woman alive after her husband’s death because it is considered her duty according to the religious texts of Hindus.

Reasons behind Sati Practice

There are two reasons why the Sati tradition started are discussed below:

1. Upper-class funerals- The idea of cremating a husband with his wife came from the belief that a man should be cremated with his precious possessions, and women were then regarded as one of them. It was written in Hindu texts that a woman who burns herself alive with her deceased husband would be promised an afterlife in heaven.

2. Safety of widows- Sati practice was regarded as protection from enemy invasions. At that time, when the Mughals, after their victory, used to enter Rajput kingdoms and take away their wives. To prevent themselves from falling into the hands of the Mughals, the wives of the deceased soldiers immolated themselves. Queen Padmini For example, Queen Padmini and her women followers killed themselves to escape being captured by Delhi’s Muslim monarch, Alauddin Khilji. Many think Sati was created solely to protect women from being captured by Muslims who entered India due to this incident.

Who stopped the Sati system in India, and when?

In the ancient period, the first ones who tried to ban this tradition were Muslim rulers of India named Mughals and Nizams. Since many people criticised them, the practice continued. In the 19th century, during British rule, the Governor of India, William Bentick, gave the order to abolish this practice.

Banning of Sati Practice

Many people allege that this practice has been performed since 510 AD, and there are signs in religious scriptures that imply that it was present even before 510 AD and was performed by specific tribes. Greek visitors who visited North India claim that Sati was practised in the 4th century B.C. this practice was not so common in the 18th century; however, it became a widespread practice in the 13th century. This practice became so popular that even tourists knew that India had such dreadful beliefs.

Initially, women practised Sati voluntarily, but with time, it evolved into a coercive act. They say that everything changes with time and people’s opinions on Sati have also changed. The situation deteriorated, but later, in modern India, specific laws were enacted to outlaw the practice, and now it is illegal and widely disregarded by the people.

Sati in medieval India

In the 7th century, it was predicted by a Sanskrit poet that it was a constant practice in Upper Hindu classes. Sati in the 14th century was at its peak in the Vijay Nagar empire. The warriors of the Goudas and Gayakas classes of Hindus performed this act of Sati.

Some incidents included the King of Madura, who died because of illness, and his wife committed Sati. Another incident of Sati happened when King Pandyan died, and his 47 wives sacrificed their lives at his funeral. There are many other similar incidents in that era.

Sati in the Medieval era

- Nizam tried to prohibit sati in Hyderabad in 1847 by issuing an order that whoever committed Sati would be held guilty and punished accordingly. However, this attempt failed as there were still many cases of Sati Pratha in that area.

- In North India, Sati was practised by upper-class Hindus such as Brahmins, whereas in South India, it was performed by royal families, peasants from the lower caste and nobles.

- For the sake of humanitarianism, Christian missionaries opposed the Sati practice long before the British did. The Bombay government outlawed Sati and issued warnings against its approach to the rulers of Gujarat, including Devgadh Baria (1840), Baroda (1840), Lunawada (1840), Rajpipla (1840), Mahikantha (1843), and Palanpur (1848). However, many of them broke the law and were consequently penalised.

Which Mughal emperor tried to ban the Sati system?

During the Mughal period, Sati was a standard practice followed by both Hindus and Muslims. Sati paratha was observed in almost all the areas of Mughal India, which mainly focused on the Ganges Valley, Madura and Vijaynagar in South India and Punjab and Rajputana in the North.

- The Indian tradition of Sati, in which a woman immolates herself even against her consent, is mentioned by Akbarnama.

- The first Muslim king to protest and speak out against Sati was Mohammed bin Tughlak. He made it necessary to obtain a licence before burning the widow, discouraging Sati and ending the practice of forcibly immolating widows.

- Following him, Humayun and Akbar both attempted to end Sati’s coercive performance. Still, Akbar insisted that if a Hindu woman wanted to perform Sati, they would not stop her against her will. Sometimes, he intervened to put a stop to this.

- Jahangir then made infanticide and Sati illegal. However, some contend that the prohibition was merely in writing and was not fully adhered to. Shah Jahan, after him, prohibited pregnant women from performing Sati and allowed widows’ children to attend school.

Aurangzeb, in contrast to him, outlawed Sati in his reign. However, it was only a temporary solution; there have been instances where Sati has been practised despite being illegal.

Has your religion apologised to women for burning them on the pyre of their husbands?

The practice of Sati Pratha was a societal construct rather than a religious one. It was banned in the 19th century due to social reform movements. There is no explicit endorsement of the practice of Sati in any of the foundational Hindu religious texts like the Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, or other major scriptures. Sati appears to have been more of a cultural and societal practice that emerged over time. The justification for Sati often came from misinterpretations or selective readings of certain texts rather than direct instructions in Hindu religious scriptures. Scholars and reformers have argued against such interpretations, emphasizing the need to distinguish cultural practices from core religious teachings.

Patriarchy, misogyny & female condescension as plight have existed in every religion. Some members of every religion are extremist, pontifical and bigot while other members exercise and exert a rational approach, not only addressing but remedying the wrongs. It is material that, we as conscientious members of a society choose empathy over brutality, regard the lives of women with dignity, and weigh individualism over blind & detrimental culture, irrespective of our fundamental faith. Agreeably, many members of my religion have moved towards a humanitarian direction where the lives of each gender are valued, but we still have a long way to go for a more unprejudiced sociological framework.

Most of the problems are there as we do not differentiate between tradition and customs

What if Lord Krishna just said, "Everything is set; I cannot change it"? Krishna put a lot of work into getting people to think differently, and that was his karma. Ever consider whether Queen Ahilya didn't struggle for girls' education and sati pratha since she was merely preoccupied with worshipping God? It might have been a wise choice for queen at the time and avoided conflict with the vidhwan brahmin and gurus. However, she made the decision to defend humanity and served as a decent queen.

I decided to compose it now that the Hindu calendar's devout Purushottam month is in progress. Many people around me perform fast and consume large amounts of milk, fruits, dry fruits, chips, other farali foods.  Fasting entails fulfilling our obligations as humans by forgoing our meal in favour of other living things like dogs, cows, and other animals. Obviously, doing so will make God happy. Today, however, it is fashionable to fast, and we consume more food during this time. When it comes to identifying tradition and customs, education appears impotent. Our traditions are rich because they are centred on humanity, but sadly, the majority of us follow customs

According to Krishna, whenever a worldview is in the best interests of humanity, it should be changed.  Yet who cares? If we follow the example of Krishna, I suppose we do not require caste-based laws or the empowerment of women. Unfortunately, nobody there is young and capable of understanding tradition. If staying in India and dressing up are part of the culture, then why do so many young people want to immigrate to western nations, where it is perfectly fine to dress whatever you like? Please consider it and distinguish between tradition and custom. People have always feared change makers of the Sati Pratha for the sake of God, even in ancient times, but happily, they didn’t change their mind and we are enjoying fruits.

Truth about Sati Pratha and Parda Pratha | Women in Vedic Hindu Society | Navratri - 20th Oct 2023

Friends, welcome to Episode 57 of Hyper Quest. In today's video, we will review the ancient scriptures and attempt to understand whether there was truly discrimination against women in religious texts, and they were kept devoid of rights. We will also endeavor to explore the differences in freedoms between men and women that are evident today and what might be the reasons for us to proactively address and eliminate such disparities.

The sacrificial in Sanatan Dharma is a example like sati pratha or untouchability practiced by people with demonic nature, which should be eradicated from its roots.

Why Not Keep An Open Mind About Things?

Women have long been denied their fundamental rights. Sati pratha was widely practised in India for a long time. Similarly, apartheid was widely practised as a legal principle.Various parts of the community struggled for their rights over time, shedding blood, tears, and sweat in the process.The pace of change is constant.
