Question

The earliest evidence of the practice of Sati can be gleaned from

A an inscription at Eran in Madhya Pradesh dated 510 AD
B the Uttaramerur inscription
C the Chandravallo inscription
D the Halmidi inscription

Answer & Explanation

Answer: [A]

The correct answer is an inscription at Eran in Madhya Pradesh dated 510 AD. According to Axel Michaels, the first inscriptional evidence of the practice is from Nepal in 464 CE, and in India from 510 CE. The early evidence suggests that widow-burning practice was seldom carried out in the general population. In India, the earliest of these memorial stones are found in Sagar, Madhya Pradesh, though the largest collections date from several centuries later, and are found in Rajasthan.
