The Indian society comprised of various social evils, malpractices and prejudices since the beginning of the ages.

Some of them that were prevalent in the 19th century are discussed below:

• System of giving dowry to the groom’s family by the bride’s family

• Sati or immolation of the wife after the death of her husband in the same pyre with the husband

• Child marriage

• Female infanticide

• Disapproval of re-marriage of windows and so on



During the 19th century India was mostly under the rule of the British. 

There were many social evils existing in India. India wasnt a part of the Industrial revolution which was churning the world and changing it at that time. India completely missed the bus 

Caste based discrimination - arguably the largest evils of all. Discriminating ppl basis what caste they are born and attributing their birth in a particular caste to their past births. This created a deep rift between the classes and the masses. The lower caste ppl were compelled into downward spiral due to this. 
Sati - Downright discrimination against women. Probably a practice carried out to avoid the widowed women from becoming a object of desire of salatious men. 
Child marriage - Kids getting married at the age of 3 or 4???? Can u beat that 
Ill treatment of widow women - Widows made to shave of their hair and live a life of misery 
Girl child killing - A girl child born was actually killed as soon as she was born!!!! 
Slavery - Landlords and feudal lords taking up poor men and women and keeping them as free bonded labour 

Hope it helps you
