Violence Against Women

Outlawing Inhuman Practice

Publisher The Hindu
1999
English
p.10.
Subhashini Ali

Abstract

The self-immolation by Charan Shah on the funeral pyre of her husband in a remote hamlet in Mahoba district in Uttar Pradesh has elicited a spate of articles dealing with the practice of Sati. Of these, a number of articles by Ms. Madhu Kishwar that she has amalgamated into one long piece, "Deadly Laws and Zealous Reformers - The Conflicting Interpretations and Politics of Sati", require to be answered because behind her misrepresentation and distortion of history lies her defence of the most indefensible of traditional practices.
