Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Language: English. About The Book: "The Suttees' Cry to Britain" by J. Peggs is a compelling work advocating against the practice of Sati, the burning of Hindu widows. Through extracts from essays published in India and parliamentary papers, Peggs argues that Sati is not an essential aspect of Hindu religion but rather a horrific custom contrary to the sacred texts like the Institutes of Manu. The book highlights the moral and humanitarian issues associated with Sati, calling for its abolition. Peggs' work played a significant role in raising awareness and influencing British policy to outlaw the practice in colonial India. About The Author: J. Peggs (1793-1850) was a British missionary and social reformer known for his activism against the practice of Sati, the ritual burning of Hindu widows. His notable work, "The Suttees' Cry to Britain," argued against Sati on religious and humanitarian grounds, emphasizing it as a cruel custom rather than a religious mandate. Peggs' advocacy significantly contributed to the British campaign to abolish Sati in colonial India, reflecting his broader commitment to social justice and human rights.
