About the Book:
This book examines the colonial debate on sati, focusing particularly on the role of Evangelicals and Baptist missionaries in shaping perceptions of the practice. While sati occurred among a very small number of Hindu widows over centuries, the study argues that its prevalence was exaggerated during the nineteenth century by missionaries seeking to promote Anglicization and Christianization in India. Rather than being a study of the ritual itself, the volume provides a critical historical perspective on colonial narratives, missionary agendas, and the social and political dimensions of reform debates in British India. This work is an important resource for historians, researchers, and readers interested in colonial history, social reform, and religious studies.
