Popis: Traditions and rituals have shaped social life in India. Traditions continue to exist through Indian mythological and epic works. It is called Sati when a woman who lost her husband, threw herself into the fire where her husband was burned. Sati was banned in India during the range of Mughal and British rule. The way Sati is practiced has taken a different form and is still supported members of Hinduism. The source of this support is Indian divine texts. This article will focus on how the Hindutva nationalist formation approached the Sati ritual and the current issues of Sati research.
