what is meant by sati pratha????
Answers
Sati or suttee[note 1] is an obsolete funeral custom where a widow immolates herself (Anumarana) on her husband's pyre or takes her own life in another fashion shortly after her husband's death.[2][3][4][5]
Mention of the practice can be dated back to the 3rd century BC,[6] while evidence of this by widows of kings only appears beginning between the 5th and 9th centuries CE. The practice is considered to have originated within the warrior aristocracy in the northern Indian subcontinent, gradually gaining in popularity from the 10th century CE and spreading to other groups from the 12th through 18th century CE. The practice was particularly prevalent among some Hindu communities,[7] observed in aristocratic Hindu families,[8] and has been attested to outside the Indian subcontinent in a number of localities in Southeast Asia, such as in Indonesia[9] and Vietnam. The practice was never widespread throughout India, nor did it have scriptural sanction.[10]
