Sati
The phenomenon of Sati, on account of its dramatic and tragic element, has always commanded considerable attention. This has not always been complemented by adequate analysis. Even when the treatment of the subject has transcended sensationalism, it has not always been sufficiently nuanced. This book hopes to remedy this situation by bringing to bear on the topic (whose relevance the recent recurrences of the phenomena have highlighted) a measure of methodological sophistication which was not possible prior to the emergence of the History of Religions as a discipline.

The Institution of Sati in India
Sati is funeral practice among some Hindu communities in which a recently-widowed woman would immolate herself on her husband's funeral pyre. Voluntary death at funerals has been described in northern India before the Gupta empire. The original practices were called anumarana, and were uncommon. Anumarana was not comparable to later understandings of sati, since the practices were not resticted to windows - rather, anyone, male or female, with personal loyalty to the deceased could commit suicide at a loved one's funeral.
