Sati, the practice of a widow self-immolating on her husband's funeral pyre, was prevalent in certain parts of India, including Rajasthan and Bengal, during the 18th century. In Rajasthan, it was often glorified as an act of honor and devotion, while in Bengal, the practice was less widespread but still existed. Social reformers and colonial authorities began to challenge and ultimately outlaw the practice in the 19th century, leading to significant changes in societal attitudes towards women's rights and roles. The debates surrounding sati highlighted the cultural and regional differences in attitudes toward gender and morality during this period.
