🇮🇳 FACTS ABOUT INDIA🇮🇳
==========================
Suttee, Sanskrit sati (“good woman” or “chaste wife”), the Indian custom of a wife immolating herself either on the funeral pyre of her dead husband or in some other fashion soon after his death. Although never widely practiced, suttee was the ideal of womanly devotion held by certain Brahman and royal castes.
The Bengal Sati Regulation, or Regulation XVII, in India under East India Company rule, by the Governor-General Lord William Bentinck, which made the practice of sati or suttee illegal in all jurisdictions of India and subject to prosecution.
VEDIK GYAN:
Shurpanakha: Ravan’s sister whose ears and nose were cut by Laxman. Shurpanakha was the main reason for Ravan’s death. Actually her husband Vidyujjihva was killed by Ravana, so to take revenge she choose Shri Rama, who can only kill Ravana.
According to Bhramavaivrata Purana, it was written that Surpanakha penanced Brahma to get Rama as her husband in her next birth. Brahma gave her the boon. She was that maiden who served Krishna (the Avatar of Rama or Vishnu) with sincere devotion. Her name was Kubja who had three stoops on her backbone. Shri Krishna made those to disappear and hence she became more beautiful. She was one among Lord Krishna’s wives.
