Sati |
The correct answer is Option (1) → Sati "Sati" was not a primary issue of concern for the women's movement during 1970. Sati, the practice of widows immolating themselves on their husband's funeral pyre, had been outlawed in India since the early 19th century, with legislative and social efforts to eradicate it dating back to the colonial period. By the 1970s, women's movements were more concerned with issues such as dowry system, representation in media, and violence against women, including rape in police custody. |
