Brave women
I will answer ur other questions when I log in from lappy. Its damn tough to type from cellš
I too belongs from Rajasthan. Even my great great grand mother became sati along with several other women when her husband (General of Aamer Army) got martydom in battlefield.
There is a place name as Satiyon ka Chabutra in Aamer where her finger prints are there along with several others. I feel so proud being the descendend of such brave forefathers.
So in short Jouhars have been the tradition in Rajasthan, not only Rajput clan all other Kshatriya used to .perform Johar and saka . Rajasthan is the symbol of sacrifice,patriotism and courage.
Jai Hind!
