Question

what was the condition of women in india during colonial period​

Answer 1

Sati, infanticide, slavery, child marriage, prohibition of widow remarriage and lack of women’s rights were some of the social problems which attracted the attention of the British and social reformers. In the beginning of the nineteenth century, the practice of sati was confined to Hooghly, Nadia and Burdwan districts of Bengal, Ghazipur of Uttar Pradesh and Shahabad of Bihar. It was also found in other parts of India, but only as a rare phenomenon.
