From about 1800 AD British Christians triedto change Indian customs

The Hindu practice Sati is believed to have originatedsome 700 years ago in India.

Women burnt themselves after their men were

defeated in battles to avoid being taken by the victors.But it came to be seen as a measure of wifelydevotion in later years and sometimes relatives wouldtie-up the wife, forcing her to die.

The custom was outlawed by India's British rulers in1829 following demands by Indian reformers. Butmany Indians were against change especially whenforced by the British.

Today it happens only once every few years and

causes outrage across India and the world.
