AbstractSati (or suttee) refers to the practice of a widow's immolation on her husband's funeral pyre. This practice has typically been associated with India but has also historically been found in Bali, Java, and Nepal. Although sati is extremely rare in contemporary India, public and scholarly attention on the topic was renewed in 1987 with the sati of Roop Kanwar. While some claim that sati is an Indian tradition, others contend that the practice increased under British colonization and has been adopted as a symbol by social and political groups. Research also considers possible economic motivations behind sati, including both those of the deceased husband's family and those of the broader community or village.
