Descrizione

About The Book: "The Suttees' Cry to Britain" by J. Peggs is a compelling work advocating against the practice of Sati, the burning of Hindu widows. Through extracts from essays published in India and parliamentary papers, Peggs argues that Sati is not an essential aspect of Hindu religion but rather a horrific custom contrary to the sacred texts like the Institutes of Manu. The book highlights the moral and humanitarian issues associated with Sati, calling for its abolition. Peggs' work played a significant role in raising awareness and influencing British policy to outlaw the practice in colonial India.
