Question

write a short note on abolition of sati.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Opposition to the practice of sati by British Christian evangelists, such as Carey, and Hindu reformers such as Ram Mohan Roy, ultimately led the British Governor-General of India Lord William Bentinck to enact the Bengal Sati Regulation, 1829, declaring the practice of burning or burying alive of Hindu widows to be punishable by the criminal courts.These were followed up with other legislation, countering what the British perceived to be interrelated issues involving violence against Hindu women,
