@smoochym

yeah right. no one supports sati. it was a bad bad bad terrible practice.

what about the inquisition? read what mughal emperor akbar was doing in india when giordano bruno was being burnt alive. also, ferguson does not mention taht it was raja rammohan ray who fought against the practice of sati. he wants you to believ it was christian morality that stopped the practice of sati. he doesnlt want you to know about rammohan. that will not figure in his "grand narrative."

@Radhikaranjan Could you please provide scholarly material on how this fellow Raja Rammohan Ray -- and not the British government -- stopped Sati?

[buldhana]

@Thraikios The clue is in the history you moron! The British didn't care about the religious practices it was more for trade!

[Thraikios]

@buldhana Great. I ask for scholarly material, you call me a moron and provide explain away your lack of proof.

[buldhana]

@Thraikios Read his book: Raja Rammohun Roy and progressive movements in India -by JK Majumdar
