Descripción

About The Book: Suttee: A Historical and Philosophical Enquiry Into the Hindu Rite of Widow-Burning by Edward Thompson, published in 1871, critically examines the practice of suttee, where widows self-immolated or were forced to burn on their husband's funeral pyre. Thompson explores the historical, cultural, and religious aspects of the ritual, highlighting its roots in ancient Hindu traditions. He discusses its philosophical implications, the moral debate surrounding it, and the British colonial intervention to abolish the practice, offering insights into colonialism, religion, and social reform.
