I wish our education system was more effective in teaching actual history and I was curious enough to learn on my own. But the collective notion of our society is skewed against studying anything but sciences and that aptly explains why we are so screwed.
Sad.... Once I stumbled upon a book written by English officer about his time in Gujarat and kathiyawar... Where he writes that while trying to stop sati procession on one occasion surrounding ppl opposed and demanded that they're allowed to follow their traditions, so officer with his troops started assembling gallows, warning if you follow your tradition we will follow our tradition. Meaning that if you burn woman we will hang you and thus that situation was saved. Moreover I guess sati pratha was supressed more in colonial times than mughals
Yes, the British suppressed it more coz they did it legally, but the Mughals had a sensitivity towards the religious rights of the population, so they didn't do it legally, rather tried to stop it indirectly
@@eyeshadowetihaaswithruchikaAs you mentioned yourself, it was the conditioning that made people believe it was pious to be Sati or make women Sati and keep the society clean, I wonder what you would do if you were born in that age, would you not just silently watch your sisters/mothers go Sati in India? Would you not just watch women accused of witchcraft being burnt alive in Rome? Would you not watch women accused of adultery being stoned in Arabia/Persia/India ? Would you not just watch humans being sacrificed to the Gods in South/Central America? Sati being glorified and not an act of punishment but of honour makes it problematic. The thing is how did we develop the modern lens of human rights with which we are judging the past barbarian acts. Is it by amalgamation/clash of cultures due to exploration/trade/colonization? Will the coming generations judge us for the acts that we are taking as normal but might be labelled inhumane later on, on matters of eating animals or discrimination against other genders etc? Things were barbarian. May be, in the depth of their souls people had mercy/compassion but not enough courage to think/oppose their social/religious conditioning. A scientific temperament, a culture of inquisition, interrogation, introspection was/is/ will be the need of the hour. We don't know how many people should we be grateful to for this present day of the least barbarianism we know of, though injustice is still prevalent and will be in different corners of the world.

Love to listen tuhada Punjabi tarka❤. Although the topic is undoubtedly very sensitive.. honestly 😢. But, emerging trends of our current political society will definitely revive this evil and our children would see it if not we. So, contemporary women must use their right of vote wisely otherwise no God will ever come to protect them.
Dr. Sharma, your ability to navigate through the intricacies of history is truly remarkable. The viewer comments have sparked my curiosity about the Rajput practice of johar and its connection to Rani Padmavati. Could you consider a future episode exploring the historical background of Rani Padmavati and the cultural significance of the johar practice in Rajputana? Your insightful analysis would undoubtedly shed light on these often misunderstood aspects of our history. Looking forward to more enlightening content from you!
Great Anylysis... Please also share the end of sati or decline of sati practice and people who were against like RRMR. What were the struggles.for the end who.are.the ones who are actually getting benefits.from.this practice. These people need to be exposed.
I have one request. Please dont reply and waste your time on these sati deniers in the comment sections. If your entire video with verified sources wont help them get their heads out of their asses, nothing will . Love your videos and keep em coming. ✌🏻
Watching this video boiled my blood. Can totally understand the feelings you went through. Got shivers myself hearing those horrifying incidents. How pathetic men and women have been since time immemorial. And you are right, we still have continued those ways even today, in a different wrapping, but parcel inside is still the same, keep women just as a device of use for men. Principles of male dominant society
Yes sati was a wort chapter of indian history. I have one simple question, If sati practise was so much evident and prevalent in our modern history until 19th century then, how many of us can give references of any female in their family tree,maybe 4-5 generations back only, getting sati? At least in your family tree or in your neighborhood?
Excellent and very well researched presentation. Would also love for you to do an episode on how Ram Mohan Roy and Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar engaged deeply with scriptures and campaigned against Sati and for widow remarriage respectively 🙂 Both of them had to tackle death threats from the orthodoxy for their campaigns to save and improve women's lives.
Two questions, 1. Are there any statistics that show how prevalent Sati was? Like, obviously all widows weren't sati or else we wouldn't have them in Vrindavan. Were there any specific criteria for being a Sati? And how many actually ended up as sati? 2. Were there similar practices in southern India? Like, there are sati temples in Maharashtra but how about further down south? I find it difficult to believe that if some brahmins practised it , the others didn't. But culturally, or rather in popular culture, there doesn't seem to be much about self immolating women in south india.
Dr. Sharma you highlighted a truly shameful part of our history. On a more positive note, Sikh Guru Amar Das abolished the practice of Sati among Sikhs. Guru Nanak: "So kion manda akhiey jis jame rajan" apparently showed profound respect for women. Appointment of women as spiritual teachers in the 'Manji' system was another example of treating women as equal 500 years (?) ago. It is quite shameful that our mainstream media insists on calling Sikhs Khalistani when most of them are not. Thanks

Quite a diabolical video, I wonder how you managed to shoot it. I was literally squirming and cringing, while watching. And I am quite a rough & tough, 6 ft. plus lad. This time more than commending your work- it’s a given- I would pay homage to you valour.
@@eyeshadowetihaaswithruchika do you know what cudve been the socio ecomic conditions during the time , which led to the practice of sati to be accepted and normalised, one the reasons you mentioned cud be that women/wife wil not poison their husbands to kill them. Are there any more reasons? All I can think of is War is there anymore to it in the historical texts.
@@Ispeakwords that wasn't the reason given by me, that was Bernier's reason, sati came up to solve women's property rights issue, the Hindu society wouldnt give any immovable property to women and since there was a huge age gap between wife and husband more women were becoming widows. None of this justifies sati
Yeah... why not... that exactly how thus video is supposed to play out... My heart filled with tears when I learned about Queen of Jhansi, Rani Durgavati, Ahliya Bai Holker, Rani Avanti Bai etc were Satied against their will before they can Rule. Seriously how gullible kids are today... no wonder thus is hopeless generation.
Ma'am, how are You attaining this kind of perfection without Sati :D 😍 jealous of the students who have access to you. Jokes apart, greatly relevant, brilliant stuff. Thank you and more power to you ❤
Peeing Human introduced me to your videos. And since then, i am binge watching your content😅. Ps: i hope these frequent eye makeups will not spoil your skin or harm your eyes.
Had never heard about you till I saw your conversation on the Lallantop, was definitely impressed by your knowledge and honest interpretation of historical facts. That impression made me watch this video. This video is also full of good and well constructed content. I may be odd in saying this, but you should try delivering these topics without the make-up routine, which I find a bit distracting. This is my personal opinion.
I read somewhere that Sati is not mentioned in the Buddhist texts and that also makes sense because Buddhist society like in China don't have a history of sati. Which is strange because Buddhism critisizes sacrifice and caste but not sati. Which maybe means that sati was a later practice.
@@saterdraj6768 But some people like SJ on TH-cam claim that India was completely Buddhist till the 8th century. Then how can you claim that Sati did not exist in Buddhist India. Sati is mentioned in Bana's Harsha charitra and by some Greek writers. These people like SJ claim that India was completely Buddhist till the 8th century.
@@rahuldeshmukh4267 I am not clear about that also. It's true that the archaeology of ancient India reveals mostly Buddhist remains. The oldest Hindu temple is said to be from the 5th century AD and that also is claimed by Buddhists. So it seems that there's something wrong with the dating of all this. Maybe some form of vaishnavism existed, which has nothing to do with modern Hinduism and they were doing this practice. I wish there was some archaeological evidence.
I want to say that your story telling is brilliant, but the incidents you spoke about have shook me to my bones. Your story telling continuously portrays the picture of the horrific incidents which you spoke about. Thank you for sharing and if possible please provide me the source for the incident reported by the times newspaper/report.

Maam wondering if you could do a follow up to talk about Rajput practice of johar, and how is it related to sati. Also is there any geographical difference in how the practice was done throughout the subcontinent?
Job Charnok during his posting at the East India Company's saltpetre procurement factory at Patna, rescued a young woman by literally fighting off the Sati party and he married the Hindu woman he rescued, they had two daughters and one daughter Mary lies with Job in the graveyard at St.John;s church, Kolkata. But unfortunately his son-in-law Eyre probably deliberately ommited his Hindu wife MAria's name from the headstone, for reasons of class and respectable to the Anglican society of the Kingdom of Bengal. Sad for the woman, even in death society couldn't dare to remember her. She too lies in the same graveyard.
Mam why have you stopped making videos? Your research your to the point approach is the only one that can challenge the painted history which RW is trying to portray

Great content! That scholars like yourself talk about their subjects in a casual yet nuanced manner is the need of the hour for sure. One suggestion, consider ditching the preview section at the start. A short introduction just going through the major themes of the video (basically description of the timestamps) should suffice. The preview can instead be turned into multiple Shorts.
Really liked this video of yours, especially because you delivered it full emotions and yet didn’t skip any fact. I thank God, that period is now over! Could you please also analyse the fact that how, when and why the position of women became so miserable in the ancient society?
have seen your video, There were very few instances of sati, it wasn't a religious practice[Hindi Dharam allows females to get remarried] it was a voluntary practice, yup it was more in North India compared to other parts of India because of the Islamic invasions came from the north, and these Islamic attackers had a thing for necrophilia [u can Google about it] and females of Rajasthan, MP were very well aware about it and to save their respect females use to prefer them self-getting burned instead of becoming a victim of necrophilia, it took Islam 494years to cross Rajasthan and establish there rule in Delhi and next 150years they had there rule over the maximum part [not all]of India. The people of the North fought against the invasion to protect their religion instead of getting converted. The sati pratha was more like a very small issue at that time because it was very rare and Britishers advertised this issue to propagate why their colonial rule was right and church used to propagate this issue to convert in India, well the people of North chose to fought for their identity, religion and land from the invaders, the average male age of Rajasthan at the time of these invasions was very low, they sacrificed themselves in hurdles to protect their identity. what r your views on this ma'am?

Dear Dr. Sharma what is your take on Meenakshi Jain's book on Sati? From reviews that I have read it appears that she tries to portray it as a non-existent custom in 19th Century India which was blown out of proportions by missionaries to denounce Hinduism. Though I have not read it but I am sure she must have tried to show Raja Rammohan Roy simply as an agent of Christian missionaries.
Hello Ruchika ji, I have recently started to follow your work and I must say your knowledge and eloquence is something every public speaker (battling the right wing misinformation ecosystem ) should aim for. I had one request. Would you please, in video or in writing, expose fraudulent historians like Meenakshi Jain who goes about claiming that sati is a british exaggeration (one among many of her lies).
After hearing from peeing human amrit....i m here to watch your content and i have to say you have a Vast knowledge about history...loved your content ❤... Thanks for teaching all of us and You are underrated too 😅
Hello Mam, I want to know that was there any upper age limit for SATTI , If a man dies in Old age and his wife is 50-60 years old, So SATTI was imposes to those old widows?
What do you think about Meenakshi Jain's effort to minimalize how prominent Sati was aka how it was never a part of Hindu culture. While she does not directly says so, many who hold her to the highest regard, come to the conclusion that its Muslims who made Sati more prominent.
I wouldn't take anything Jain says seriously, she has no qualification in history, she is a Pol science expert. Jain specifically ignores travelogues as they weaken her case a lot, almost all travelogues mention instances of Sati. And there's unison in academia that sati cases increase during Gupta Age and reduces when Turks come, but Jain makes conclusions first and gathers facts that fit those conclusions later
@@eyeshadowetihaaswithruchikadr Meenakshi Jain is also historian she is history professor in gargi college read her book first she literally have solid evidence
@eyeshadowetihaaswithruchika i wonder if this was most prevalent in North india only or even in the south where brahmanism entered later. Any comments on regionwise differentiation? Bengal is mentioned more in British times maybe because they hegan from there.
I agree with you.Very crucial tradition.I condemn it. Gandhatri became blind because of her husband. Kunti said , you devide your wife nd draupadi became a wife of five husband so crucial. It is just like forever gangrape.
That was very thorough and informative (and also heartbreaking). Is there a north vs south angle to this ? Do we have evidence of Sati being practiced in Vijaynagar, Chola or Travancore societies ? The little remarks on Mohammed bin Tughlaq and Dara Shikoh were very tantalizing. Would love to see videos on them....... Thank you for taking time from your research to make these videos
Thank you! Sati was being practiced in the Vijayanagar regions for sure since Barbosa mentions it. And yes, I shall certainly make videos on both Tughlaq and Dara someday
Sati was far from being unknown in the south,. A recorded instance of Sati (recorded by a European traveller )in early 19th century in Thanjavur Distt in TN exists.

Thank you! :)
Mam this is what i miss about jnu to question everything... Loved our history department to produce such great scholar. ❤❤
Love to listen tuhada Punjabi tarka❤. Although the topic is undoubtedly very sensitive.. honestly 😢. But, emerging trends of our current political society will definitely revive this evil and our children would see it if not we. So, contemporary women must use their right of vote wisely otherwise no God will ever come to protect them.
Very informative video. Keep doing it❤
Thanks!
Dr.I respect your anger 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Dr. Sharma, your ability to navigate through the intricacies of history is truly remarkable. The viewer comments have sparked my curiosity about the Rajput practice of johar and its connection to Rani Padmavati. Could you consider a future episode exploring the historical background of Rani Padmavati and the cultural significance of the johar practice in Rajputana? Your insightful analysis would undoubtedly shed light on these often misunderstood aspects of our history. Looking forward to more enlightening content from you!
Great Anylysis... Please also share the end of sati or decline of sati practice and people who were against like RRMR. What were the struggles.for the end who.are.the ones who are actually getting benefits.from.this practice. These people need to be exposed.
Thanks, yes maybe in a later video I can explore these points, this video got quite long as is
I have one request. Please dont reply and waste your time on these sati deniers in the comment sections. If your entire video with verified sources wont help them get their heads out of their asses, nothing will . Love your videos and keep em coming. ✌🏻
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Watching this video boiled my blood. Can totally understand the feelings you went through. Got shivers myself hearing those horrifying incidents. How pathetic men and women have been since time immemorial. And you are right, we still have continued those ways even today, in a different wrapping, but parcel inside is still the same, keep women just as a device of use for men. Principles of male dominant society
Indeed
Love “SPQR” in your background. Senatus Populusque Romanus. Fan of Roman History more than Indian history ❤
Yes sati was a wort chapter of indian history.
I have one simple question, If sati practise was so much evident and prevalent in our modern history until 19th century then, how many of us can give references of any female in their family tree,maybe 4-5 generations back only, getting sati?
At least in your family tree or in your neighborhood?
Though your video many people are watching but very few are pressing like button!
Amazing content about this amazing Sanatani civilization of ours ❤❤
Amazing? You should instrospect if you are a human being if you find THIS amazing.
Excellent and very well researched presentation. Would also love for you to do an episode on how Ram Mohan Roy and Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar engaged deeply with scriptures and campaigned against Sati and for widow remarriage respectively 🙂 Both of them had to tackle death threats from the orthodoxy for their campaigns to save and improve women's lives.
Thank you and thanks for the suggestion
Two questions, 1. Are there any statistics that show how prevalent Sati was? Like, obviously all widows weren't sati or else we wouldn't have them in Vrindavan. Were there any specific criteria for being a Sati? And how many actually ended up as sati?
2. Were there similar practices in southern India? Like, there are sati temples in Maharashtra but how about further down south? I find it difficult to believe that if some brahmins practised it , the others didn't. But culturally, or rather in popular culture, there doesn't seem to be much about self immolating women in south india.
Salute you mam ❤
Thanks
Dr. Sharma you highlighted a truly shameful part of our history. On a more positive note, Sikh Guru Amar Das abolished the practice of Sati among Sikhs. Guru Nanak: "So kion manda akhiey jis jame rajan" apparently showed profound respect for women. Appointment of women as spiritual teachers in the 'Manji' system was another example of treating women as equal 500 years (?) ago. It is quite shameful that our mainstream media insists on calling Sikhs Khalistani when most of them are not. Thanks
Also make one on Sultan Balban his life is very interesting

Absolutely mind blowing. Your videos and topics are really engaging. Happy to be your subscriber.
Thank you!
@@eyeshadowetihaaswithruchika do you know what cudve been the socio ecomic conditions during the time , which led to the practice of sati to be accepted and normalised, one the reasons you mentioned cud be that women/wife wil not poison their husbands to kill them. Are there any more reasons? All I can think of is War is there anymore to it in the historical texts.
@@Ispeakwords that wasn't the reason given by me, that was Bernier's reason, sati came up to solve women's property rights issue, the Hindu society wouldnt give any immovable property to women and since there was a huge age gap between wife and husband more women were becoming widows. None of this justifies sati
Horrors from History......good you are bringing out the Hidden Unrevealed stories.

Thanks!
Brilliant. Much needed. More power to you.
Tears came to my eyes while listening to you and imagining the situation of those women that was horrible, foolishness of people can do alot of damage

Yeah... why not... that exactly how thus video is supposed to play out...
My heart filled with tears when I learned about Queen of Jhansi, Rani Durgavati, Ahliya Bai Holker, Rani Avanti Bai etc were Satied against their will before they can Rule.

Had never heard about you till I saw your conversation on the Lallantop, was definitely impressed by your knowledge and honest interpretation of historical facts. That impression made me watch this video. This video is also full of good and well constructed content. I may be odd in saying this, but you should try delivering these topics without the make-up routine, which I find a bit distracting. This is my personal opinion.
Hello Ma'am could you please shed some light on the austro-asiatic people in India. Where do they come from and when did they migrate to India.
Thanks for the suggestion
I am curious how Draupadi died in the Mahabharata? And how some women like Kunti were spared from being forced to commit sati?
Because she technically wife of 6gods, if female have too many husbands then she can take sathi after last husband's death.
Hai? Where it is practiced nowadays?
Don't worry..The rath has started rolling so I will come back soon..
Great information! Keep sharing the truth.👍 It seems some people in the comments are upset with you for bringing up the truth.
Love your videos ma'am.
Mam please tell me how to open discription
Did Buddhism sanction sati practice?
I read somewhere that Sati is not mentioned in the Buddhist texts and that also makes sense because Buddhist society like in China don't have a history of sati. Which is strange because Buddhism critisizes sacrifice and caste but not sati. Which maybe means that sati was a later practice.
@@saterdraj6768
But some people like SJ on TH-cam claim that India was completely Buddhist till the 8th century.
Then how can you claim that Sati did not exist in Buddhist India.
Sati is mentioned in Bana's Harsha charitra and by some Greek writers.
These people like SJ claim that India was completely Buddhist till the 8th century.
@@rahuldeshmukh4267 I am not clear about that also. It's true that the archaeology of ancient India reveals mostly Buddhist remains. The oldest Hindu temple is said to be from the 5th century AD and that also is claimed by Buddhists. So it seems that there's something wrong with the dating of all this. Maybe some form of vaishnavism existed, which has nothing to do with modern Hinduism and they were doing this practice. I wish there was some archaeological evidence.
I want to say that your story telling is brilliant, but the incidents you spoke about have shook me to my bones. Your story telling continuously portrays the picture of the horrific incidents which you spoke about. Thank you for sharing and if possible please provide me the source for the incident reported by the times newspaper/report.
Thanks! All sources are mentioned in the description box, the Times incident is in Andrea Major's book, check description box for title

Sati or jawar is used to perform by hindu women when islamic invader invade local area n try to sell them as sex slave. Sex slavery to non-Muslims allowed in Islam. Check quran n hadis. N check exmuslim channel.
Maam wondering if you could do a follow up to talk about Rajput practice of johar, and how is it related to sati. Also is there any geographical difference in how the practice was done throughout the subcontinent?
We are learning keep it up.
Thanks!
You're here to simp cause she spewed garbage against Hindus, not to learn or comprehend Lol
Job Charnok during his posting at the East India Company's saltpetre procurement factory at Patna, rescued a young woman by literally fighting off the Sati party and he married the Hindu woman he rescued, they had two daughters and one daughter Mary lies with Job in the graveyard at St.John;s church, Kolkata. But unfortunately his son-in-law Eyre probably deliberately ommited his Hindu wife MAria's name from the headstone, for reasons of class and respectable to the Anglican society of the Kingdom of Bengal. Sad for the woman, even in death society couldn't dare to remember her. She too lies in the same graveyard.
very good video. thank you
Thanks!

Why do people still talk about choice based sati. How does choice come in such heinous practices.
I'm as clueless as you, the choice like I say in my video was actual death or social death. No one in their right mind would think of this as a "choice"!
Even this was practiced in Vijayanagara Empire as well

Thanks for the suggestion
Really liked this video of yours, especially because you delivered it full emotions and yet didn’t skip any fact.
I thank God, that period is now over!
Could you please also analyse the fact that how, when and why the position of women became so miserable in the ancient society?
have seen your video, There were very few instances of sati, it wasn't a religious practice[Hindi Dharam allows females to get remarried] it was a voluntary practice, yup it was more in North India compared to other parts of India because of the Islamic invasions came from the north, and these Islamic attackers had a thing for necrophilia [u can Google about it] and females of Rajasthan, MP were very well aware about it and to save their respect females use to prefer them self-getting burned instead of becoming a victim of necrophilia, it took Islam 494years to cross Rajasthan and establish there rule in Delhi and next 150years they had there rule over the maximum part [not all]of India. The people of the North fought against the invasion to protect their religion instead of getting converted. The sati pratha was more like a very small issue at that time because it was very rare and Britishers advertised this issue to propagate why their colonial rule was right and church used to propagate this issue to convert in India, well the people of North chose to fought for their identity, religion and land from the invaders, the average male age of Rajasthan at the time of these invasions was very low, they sacrificed themselves in hurdles to protect their identity. what r your views on this ma'am?
TLDR, yet another clown who tries to whitewash crimes against women

Dear Dr. Sharma what is your take on Meenakshi Jain's book on Sati? From reviews that I have read it appears that she tries to portray it as a non-existent custom in 19th Century India which was blown out of proportions by missionaries to denounce Hinduism. Though I have not read it but I am sure she must have tried to show Raja Rammohan Roy simply as an agent of Christian missionaries.
बेहद शोधपरख विश्लेषण 👌

Hello Ruchika ji, I have recently started to follow your work and I must say your knowledge and eloquence is something every public speaker (battling the right wing misinformation ecosystem ) should aim for. I had one request. Would you please, in video or in writing, expose fraudulent historians like Meenakshi Jain who goes about claiming that sati is a british exaggeration (one among many of her lies).
Somehow things don't add up. The oldest vedic texts aren't that old as quoted in the video.

Hello Mam, I want to know that was there any upper age limit for SATTI , If a man dies in Old age and his wife is 50-60 years old, So SATTI was imposes to those old widows?
Bitter truth about our society. can you please explain sculptures shown in videos. tnx.
How many have heard stories of sati from their families outside books?
Horrified.
I have read a bit about Sati but never imagined this Was going on for centuries
What do you think about Meenakshi Jain's effort to minimalize how prominent Sati was aka how it was never a part of Hindu culture. While she does not directly says so, many who hold her to the highest regard, come to the conclusion that its Muslims who made Sati more prominent.
I wouldn't take anything Jain says seriously, she has no qualification in history, she is a Pol science expert. Jain specifically ignores travelogues as they weaken her case a lot, almost all travelogues mention instances of Sati. And there's unison in academia that sati cases increase during Gupta Age and reduces when Turks come, but Jain makes conclusions first and gathers facts that fit those conclusions later
@@eyeshadowetihaaswithruchika Well, that makes a lots of sense. I hope you carry your great work.
@@eyeshadowetihaaswithruchikadr Meenakshi Jain is also historian she is history professor in gargi college read her book first she literally have solid evidence
@@harisharya644 she teaches history but has no qualification in history, she ignores swathes of evidence

@eyeshadowetihaaswithruchika i wonder if this was most prevalent in North india only or even in the south where brahmanism entered later. Any comments on regionwise differentiation? Bengal is mentioned more in British times maybe because they hegan from there.
I agree with you.Very crucial tradition.I condemn it. Gandhatri became blind because of her husband. Kunti said , you devide your wife nd draupadi became a wife of five husband so crucial. It is just like forever gangrape.
That was very thorough and informative (and also heartbreaking).
Is there a north vs south angle to this ? Do we have evidence of Sati being practiced in Vijaynagar, Chola or Travancore societies ?
The little remarks on Mohammed bin Tughlaq and Dara Shikoh were very tantalizing. Would love to see videos on them.......
Thank you for taking time from your research to make these videos
Thank you! Sati was being practiced in the Vijayanagar regions for sure since Barbosa mentions it. And yes, I shall certainly make videos on both Tughlaq and Dara someday
Sati was far from being unknown in the south,. A recorded instance of Sati (recorded by a European traveller )in early 19th century in Thanjavur Distt in TN exists.
