Truth About SATI & "Reformer" Raja Ram Mohan Roy |

[@omchaturvedi09]

Few days back I saw a quote : It takes from 15 - 20 years to demoralise a nation ... This is the minimum no. of years to educate one generation of students - Yuri Bezmenov ( Former KGB ) Now Imagine what kind of destruction to the society's mindset the British during colonial period followed by the Congress rule after independence in the span of > 200 years had caused . But I believe that since the dusk is always followed by dawn and hence we will definately be going to make things work in our own way through our hardwork in the coming future .

@nine tailedThe very first line of your question itself gives the answer man. Pandu's wife Madri commited sati then why didn't his other wife kunti? This shows that it's their personal choice.. no one forced Madri to perform sati. Feeling lost without her better half, she felt like doing so! If you are predetermined to not be open to the truth, you'll spend the rest of your life as ignorant. Before criticising analyse!

First time I learnt about Sati I asked "isn't that what goddess Sati did?" And my teacher replied that the malpractice was practiced and Mata Sati's name was misused as justification, but it didn't spread to the South (I'm a South Indian). I have always been sceptic about the social textbooks from childhood, because I noticed how they introduced us to democracy with a utopian image but they only showed the negative aspects of Monarchy and dictatorship, and as a kid who adored kings, I found this to be irritating. And yet, even after all the scepticism, I still ended up believing in sati and the greatness of Raja Ram Mohan Roy. Shows how efficient the British system is at brainwashing us since childhood

However, the truth is that foreign invaders managed to capture india in just 11 th century and even foreign invaders not captured full india, they just managed to capture northern india at a time when india was politically unstable. Before that for thousands of years indian emperors ruled indian and had a monopoly in regions of thousands of kilometers across regions of india. For example, there was a great indian emperor vikramaditya, he ruled almost 60 percent of asia for 100 years around 100BC. Empire of vikramaditya included modern day middle east, Turkey, UAE, Kazakhstan, Afghanistan, iran, Iraq, pakistan, full india, and almost half of china and Hinduism was major religion in all this region. Blue coloured area was his empire- images.app.goo.gl/KnxZNkqbrUHZTpLm8 There were many kings like him in past who ruled like boss till they lived but their history was tried to be vanished by british and islamic rulers and nowdays a few people know about them. Hopefully one day entire world will know about these great emperors especially vikramaditya.

But unfortunately they were successful in many other countries, even native Americans dont used to speak english. English was introduced when british captured USA.

The Bengal Renaissance leaders and reformers like Dayanand Saraswati all of them batted for western education. All these leaders were well versed with Sanskrit as well as Arabic and Persian languages yet they realised that western education was equally important for that point of time. Moreover Raja Ram Mohan Roy had himself experienced the agony of a sati because his sister-in-law wife of his brother Jagmohan Roy was forced to commit sati. Secondly sati pratha was for the upper caste or the royals. As for Ahilya Devi was concerned Malhar Rao her father-in-law stopped her because he wanted her to be his successor. The other wives of Khande Rao had no other option. Even Ahilya Bai's daughter committed sati. Raja Ram Mohan Roy was always revered as a reformer never a saint.

Octavio Paz on Raja Ram Mohan Roy: “The political movement was preceded by a reform of Hinduism in which the influence of English Christianity was decisive. The leader of this reformation, Ram Mohan Roy, attempted to restore Hinduism to its original purity. Influenced by the ideas of the Unitarian church,he found proof in the sacred texts of Brahmanism thst the true Hindu religion,now reformed by superstition, was no less rigorous than that of the Christians...I am certain that he never realised he was the creator of a pious fraud. To defend Hinduism against the criticism of missionaries, the reformers Christianized it. Their secret religion was Christianity; without knowing or wanting to, they adopted its values”.

Sir, My ancestors were war generals and revenue officers in the Bikaner kingdom. Around 3 or 4 committee sati but that was by choice because their history is written in different text. That time written text mentioned that "No one forces them to committee but they were forcing them to not commit sati". Sati was not like burning them forcibly, our great Pati-Vrata Nari choose this because they don't want that anybody else touches them after their husband. For this, there is a very famous line written by the rajasthani poet " केहरी केश, भुजंग मान, सरनाई सोहड़ा, सती पायोधर, कृपाण धन, पडी हाथ मुवाह".

We are not denying the existence of sati. It did exist. It happened at many places. But if you look at NCERT History textbook, they have portrayed it in a way that it was a norm everywhere. This subliminally makes everyone believe that it was a malpractice of Hinduism. Now you tell me, India is such a diverse country. There are so many customs that are so varied. For example, in certain communities from the southern part of India marriages between cousins is prevalent. But can you say that it is the culture of the entire nation? Is it a Hindu custom? It is not. This is the problem. They portrayed Sati as something that Hindus do. This is wrong. And no one can justify it. Few hundred women performed Sati (voluntarily in most cases), doesn't mean that it was a core of Hindu culture.

I am from Jat community in Rajasthan. We have a record history of last 250-300 years. My grand parents said the same thing about Raja Ram Mohan Rai, Aryans and all. According to them this “Sati pratha” was practiced in few areas of West Bengal. Reason behind it was “claiming of property”. So, the other members in family would burnt the widow and framed it from religious angle. We have got a “Sati Mata” temple too in Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan. And a “sata dada” as well. The sata dada burned himself after his brother died. It was completely voluntary act due to depression. It had nothing to do with “sati pratha” When I went Delhi for further studies then I told the same things to my new friends but they asked me to shut up and study more.

I asked this question to my Great Grand mother, She is 97 now. She remembered 2 cases of Sati and She said It was voluntary in nature, even society prevent them not to do, but they somehow did.

This man is speaking the truth🔥. I've read "Raja Ram Mohan Roya's The Renaissance" book (Kind of his autobiography). I did my graduation from a Christian university & In this book, I got in a prize from a Christian professor for winning a quiz competition. I don't know what's her motive of her for giving me this book as a prize specifically🤷‍♀️. Anyways when I finished reading the whole book, I felt something fishy and wrong but couldn't able to comprehend it, well because it's cleverly written in a humanitarian way and also to characterised western culture as supreme over our Sanatan Dharma. Glad my intuition which I felt at that time became true. 🙇‍♂️ Hare Krishna!💙🙏

Great analysis! Wish history was taught to us like this! I have also thought about the famines happening in British times. Not a single famine happened after independence. So, clearly it was artificially imposed on us by them. During the 1943 bengal famine that killed 3 million people of starvation, Winston Churchill quoted that Indians breed like rabbits and it might be ok to lose a few.

I am from Rajasthan..we have our Sati Mata near Nasirabad, Ajmer. Hundreds of years ago, one of our past female family member became Sati. We have a Sati temple there.

[@gauravjangle1749]

I would like to add to your facts to prove sati was nothing more than a personal affair. there are records from Maharashtra of around 15th-16th CE. The widows used shave their heads regularly. And the record says practice was generally found in brahmins and may be some upper class. Some more records are there of women started wearing white saree after the death of their husband. So if they were shaving heads or wearing white or mud coloured sarees then where is the sati?

[@shubhamomer5652]

Why there is not much mention of 'Gupt Empire' when it comes to ancient history? Historians talks very less about them even though it was one of the biggest and longest time frame empire with the Kings like 'Samudragupta' and 'Vikramaditya'.

[@shubhamomer5652]

@Ahamasmi Sanatani Yeah it's true. But my question is little different. Even the people who knows ancient history they also only talks about Mauryan Empire and never discusses the more powerful and great empires in our history.

[@JaqenHegar]

In my family, one ancestor of mine performed Sati after the death of her husband. But she herself became Sati on her own will. She was in her parents home when her husband died, she got to know mystically about the death of her husband and she told her parents that she would perform Sati and she eventually came back to our village home and performed sati. And now we worship her as Devi. On every occasion, our Sati Mata is worshipped along with our Kuldevi. But we haven't heard any other sati than her in the whole of my family line.
