Interesting debate between two American Hindu women giving a breakdown on what Sati really is, while exposing the historical Hinduphobic propaganda starting from the Church, which continues today from the left and right as they feel threatened by the largest indigenous ancient people in the world, who they need to civilise.
For many in the West, Sati—the so-called “widow burning” ritual—has become the symbol of Hinduism’s supposed barbarism. But what if everything you’ve heard about it is wrong?
In this video, I unpack the actual history of Sati:
What ancient texts really said (and didn’t say)
How mistranslations and missionary propaganda distorted its meaning
Why British colonizers turned a rare, voluntary act into a global symbol of Hindu cruelty
And how that narrative still impacts how India is seen today
With insights from historian Dr. Meenakshi Jain and personal stories from Hindu Americans, we challenge the colonial lens and reclaim the truth.
