Syria,
I don't get it how you are able to find books and still dug out these facts despite being there in US.
Anyways kudos to your efforts..!..
If you have finished Hum. Nama, i ll PM u another book's name.

Yes, regarding Sati there was some talk between them in the court. Though her own mother commited sati as per what shweta told me. So that may be a reason in her taking part in this decision...??..

Also Akbar banned only forceful Sati.!. Not voluntary Sati...!...

Yes women were normally drugged during this process.!.

BTW, not ONLY this.
Already i mentioned in my main pt4 thread regarding Holi celebration and Janmashtmi celebration in Akbar's time and also How it started. 😉

Also try to find out the first major Durga Puja by Akbar and also who caused it..?..😉..You will not get this on Net..!.. But i feel you got what i mean here...This answer is evident if you visit Amer's Palace..

Coming to the present slavery track. Slavery abolition had something to do with Harem slavery as well. And there is also mention that DESPITE abolition of slavery it started again later..!..
Some involvement of harem is there...No matter this may appear funny but this issue relates to harem ALSO..!. I will write more on this thread later if i get some info...ROFL...😆..

Btw, in India slavery was practiced since Delhi Sultanate times and even before that we had the concept of chandalls during Guptas. Who were basicaly 'outcaste slaves' basically like modern manual scavengers. And we know about famous slave trade of africans by europeans who were sent to Americas..!..

BUT this was abolished in 1560's itself in Mughal India..!..way before those people abolished it in west..

Keep sharing your findings.!.
Till now i know about her involvement in these issues.!.

Durga Mata festival is large in general, that's is why 16 days of Dusshera is held.

I know this much that --> Man Singh, Akbar and MUZ were involved in this. And, hence i mentioned regarding Amer Palace, as this event has some reference present there..😊
