The book titled The Suttees' Cry to Britain is a collection of essays and parliamentary papers that shed light on the practice of Sati or the burning of widows in India. The author, James Peggs, presents a comprehensive analysis of the historical, social, and religious factors that led to the prevalence of this practice in India. Through a series of extracts from essays published in India and parliamentary papers, the book highlights the atrocities committed against women who were forced to undergo Sati.Peggs examines the role of the British in trying to abolish this inhumane practice and the challenges they faced in doing so. The book provides a detailed account of the legal and political battles fought by the British in their efforts to eradicate Sati. It also includes firsthand accounts of witnesses who have seen the burning of Vindoo widows and the impact it had on society.Overall, The Suttees' Cry to Britain is a compelling and informative read that sheds light on a dark chapter in India's history. It serves as a reminder of the importance of standing up against injustice and fighting for human rights.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
