In which year was Sati banned in India?

1829

The correct answer is Option 1- 1829

Sati was banned in India in 1829.

The Bengal Sati Regulation, 1829, was a regulation passed by Lord William Bentinck, the Governor-General of India, which made the practice of sati illegal in all of British India. The regulation was passed in response to the growing public outcry against the practice of sati. It was also a sign of the British government's commitment to social reform in India.

The Bengal Sati Regulation was a landmark piece of legislation. It was the first time that the British government had intervened in a Hindu social practice. It was also the first time that the British government had banned a practice that was considered to be a religious duty by many Hindus.

The Bengal Sati Regulation was met with some resistance from conservative Hindus. However, it was eventually enforced throughout British India. The ban on sati was a major victory for social reformers in India and helped to pave the way for other social reforms, such as the abolition of child marriage and the upliftment of women.
