‘The King must ensure that #widows, abandoned women, childless women, women without a guardian, or #women who are ill, are provided care, shelter, clothes and food.
Their property must also be protected.’
#ManuSmriti 8.28
#suttee #Hinduism
चाणक्य के अर्थशास्त्र में आज से ~२३०० साल पहले विधवा विवाह के अनुमोदन के अलावा ऐसे में संपत्ति बाँटने के विस्तृत नियम भी बताये हैं।
पता नहीं हमारे ‘विश्व-विख्यात’ इतिहासकार और समाजशास्त्री इस बात की चर्चा क्यों नहीं करते?
#Colonialism #Hinduism #women #widow #suttee #remarriage
#Arthashastra (~300 BCE) not only provided for #remarriage of widows, but also set rules for distribution of wealth.
In fact it talks about multiple remarriages!
Strangely our ‘eminent’ historians & sociologists missed this totally!

‘सामर्थ्य होते हुए भी विधवा बहिन, बेटी या माँ का पालन-पोषण न करने वाले पर १२ पण का दण्ड लगाया जाये।’
- कौटिल्य रचित अर्थशास्त्र, ~ २,३०० साल पहले
यहाँ भी सती-प्रथा का कोई ज़िक्र नहीं…

‘Person who does not take care of a widowed sister, daughter or mother, shall be fined 12 paṇa.’
- #Arthashastra, composed by #Chanakya ~ 2,300 years ago
Again, no sati-pratha here.

When King Shantanu died an untimely death, his #widow Satyavati did not climb the funeral pyre with him
Instead she ran Kaurava kingdom with help of her sons, Bhishma & Chitrangada
- #Mahabharata
Was ‘#suttee’ really the norm or an exception?
#WidowBurning #colonialism
जब महाराज शान्तनु की असमय मृत्यु हो गयी तो उनकी विधवा सत्यवती उनके साथ चिता पर नहीं चढ़ीं।
बल्कि उन्होंने अपने पुत्र चित्रांगद को सिंहासन पर बिठाया ।
-महाभारत, आदि पर्व. 1.101.4-5
उस समय भी ‘सती प्रथा’ की चर्चा नहीं हुई…
#suttee #WidowBurning #Mahabharat #colonialism
When King Vichitravirya died of illness, his wives (Ambika and Ambalika) became widows.
They continued living with their mother-in-law Queen Satyavati, who was herself a #widow.
- #Mahabharat 1.102.70-71
No talk of any ‘sati pratha’?
#suttee #WidowBurning
राजा विचित्रवीर्य राजयक्ष्मा शिकार हो कर यमलोक चले गये ।
उनकी दोनों पत्नियां (अम्बिका और अम्बालिका) विधवा हो गयीं । वे अपनी सास सत्यवती के पास रहीं ।
- महाभारत 1.102.70-71
यहाँ भी ‘सती प्रथा’ की कोई बात नहीं हुई
#suttee #WidowBurning #Mahabharat
When Asti and Prapti, #widows of Kaṃsa, asked their father Jarāsandha, to avenge the death of Kansa by attacking Mathura.
No ‘sati-pratha’ here.
- Bhagwat Purana. ~1520-30 CE
#suttee #colonialism #Hinduism #sati
#Chanakya laid down detailed rules for #widows inheriting property after husband’s death
He also set out what happens if they remarry (!), with or without (!!) their father-in-law’s consent
No mention of any सती प्रथा

Let democracy reign
The "#BreastTax" suffered by the Dalits on #Travancore is no greater than the "#Suttee"(Sati) that was experienced by Brahmins and other royal castes in #ancientindia.
That sounds like a threat! What are you going to do @PriyamvadaGopal bombard us with quinoa salad. I think we’ll live. & yes the British Empire was a force for good & it’s why you’re in Cambridge not on a funeral pyre with your husband’s body #Suttee
It's a time we stopped being softly softly on the establishment empire defenders, playing their pretend game that they can be that without being pretty hardcore racists, including the sad brown sidekicks.
@thepainterflynn Lot of people might get confused with the word "#Suttee" As they are more familiar and conversant with its widely and mainly used form - "#Sati"
noun: suttee
a former practice in India whereby a widow threw herself on to her husband's funeral pyre expressed as
committed sati
