Just read historian Meenakshi Jain’s book Sati, and every page offers an account of how the British and Christian missionaries used the practice of Sati to further their own agendas. The book describes Sati as an extremely rare practice that was never prevalent throughout all parts of India. It argues that, in the early 19th century, English Evangelicals and Baptist missionaries in Bengal used Sati as propaganda to promote religious conversion. The number of Sati cases was allegedly exaggerated to portray Hindu society as barbaric and persuade people to convert to Christianity. Just imagine how much propaganda Christian missionaries spread just to convert people.
