Original Note:
NNN. User is right. Sati was practiced by Hindus from the 10th Century and abolished by the British. https://open.metu.edu.tr/bitstream/handle/11511/18657/index.pdf https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-65311042.amp https://cchr.uu.nl/widow-burning-the-burning-issue-of-colonial-britain-and-india/ The previous note isn’t even supported by its own source, which states that Sati “began” as a voluntary but became forced as widows were seen as a burden to society. https://theculturetrip.com/asia/india/articles/the-dark-history-behind-sati-a-banned-funeral-custom-in-india
