Most of you might think that my earlier thread, "Akbar and Sati" is stale news and not worth having another look. I have to start a new thread so that your curiosity makes you read the shocking new information I have of the forced Sati, that Akbar stopped.

- The woman being forced to commit Sati was the widow of Jai Mai, a cousin of Raja Bhagwan Das.
And she was being forced by her own son!

Being forced to commit Sati by your own Son. How shocking can things get.

It gives an idea of the uphill struggle that social reformers like Akbar and Raja Ram Mohan Roy must have faced to abolish Sati.
