Sati practice was banned in India by the British administration in 1829 through the Bengal Sati Regulation Act. This came after sustained efforts by social reformers and British officials to abolish this practice, which involved the self-immolation of widows on their husband's funeral pyres.

Sati practice was abolished by the British colonial government in India through legislative measures enacted from 1829 to 1832. Lord William Bentinck, the Governor-General of India at the time, played a key role in banning this practice, which involved the immolation of widows on their husband's funeral pyre.

The Sutee Campaign, also known as the Suti or Satee Campaign, refers to the British colonial efforts in the early 19th century to abolish the practice of Sati (or Suttee) in India. Sati involved the self-immolation of widows on their husband's funeral pyres, and was considered a cultural tradition in some communities. The campaign gained momentum after the 1829 regulation by the British Governor-General Lord William Bentinck, which officially banned the practice, driven by moral and humanitarian concerns. The movement was part of broader social reforms during the British colonial period aimed at improving the status of women in Indian society.
