In Hindu religious life Sati was brutal custom from time immemorial until it was banned in December 1829 by the then Governor General, Lord William Bentinck. The custom involved sacrificing a woman with/without her permission by burning her along with her husband's death funeral. It had been banned in 1829 because of the Europeans & Hindu reformist leader Raja Ram Mohan Roy continued efforts.
Explanation:
- As a consequence of the arrival of British rule in India, a group of learned Indian who emerged from the small expansion of modern education, particularly, in the British provinces of Bengal, openly defied and challenged ancient practices of Hinduism . Rajaram Mohan Roy was one of the leading social reformers in the period, who started the war against Sati in the year 1818.
- In 1829, when he received the reports of the killings of women by the custom and and realizing the active support of the Raja Ram Mohan Roy, William Bentinck, who was then Governor General of Bengal, himself a liberal man open to reforms, abolished Sati. Raja Ram Mohan Roy had British realize that Sati is a social evil and it had to be banned/prohibited.
- In 1829 the William Bentick, with his "active persuausion" introduced the famous Regulation XVII that considered Sati to be "unlawful & punishable" by courts.⠀
