Sati: evangelicals, Baptist missionaries, and the changing colonial discourse
Jain, Meenakshi
₹ 995.00
This is not a work on sati per se. Its primary focus is the colonial debate on sati, particularly the role of Evangelicals and Baptist missionaries. It argues that sati was an exceptional act, performed by a miniscule number of Hindu widows over the centuries. It occurrence was, however, exaggerated in the nineteenth century by Evangelicals and Baptist missionaries eager to Anglicize and Christianize India.
