“Even Raja Rammohan Roy abolished Sati, the cruel practice where a widow burned on her husband’s funeral pyre. Pandit Ishwarchandra Vidyasagar had started the remarriage of Hindu widows. Even then, could they stop other atrocities in other religions? My fight over typical practices will continue. The dark chapter of 19 years ended today,” added the Bangladeshi author.
