During the late 18th century (what was known as the Dark Age), the society in Bengal was burdened with a host of evil customs and regulations.

Elaborate rituals and strict moral codes were enforced which were largely modified, and badly interpreted ancient traditions.


Practices like child marriage (Gouridaan), polygamy and Sati were prevalent that affected women in the society.


The most brutal among these customs was the Sati Pratha. The custom involved self-immolation of widows at their husband’s funeral pyre.


While the custom in its original form gave choice to the women to do so, it gradually evolved to be a mandatory custom especially for Brahmin and higher caste families
