Name some social evils prevailing in the indian society in the 19th century?

During the 19th century India was mostly under the rule of the British. There were many social evils existing in India. India wasnt a part of the Industrial revolution which was churning the world and changing it at that time. India completely missed the bus Caste based discrimination - arguably the largest evils of all. Discriminating ppl basis what caste they are born and attributing their birth in a particular caste to their past births. This created a deep rift between the classes and the masses. The lower caste ppl were compelled into downward spiral due to this. Sati - Downright discrimination against women. Probably a practice carried out to avoid the widowed women from becoming a object of desire of salatious men. Child marriage - Kids getting married at the age of 3 or 4???? Can u beat that Ill treatment of widow women - Widows made to shave of their hair and live a life of misery Girl child killing - A girl child born was actually killed as soon as she was born!!!! Slavery - Landlords and feudal lords taking up poor men and women and keeping them as free bonded labour

The main social evil of 19th century Indian society was deep rooted superstition in the name of religious belief. To day, we can't imagine the volume of superstition that were in existence then. "SATI" was one notorious superstitious belief then in Indian society, when a widows were compelled to follow their dead husband in the burnig ghat, and the widows were used to be burnt alive along with her dead husband. Ram mohan Roy and his followers who protested this inhuman system were boycottet and even assulted by the then social leaders in the name of protecting relegion. Boys were not allowed to go to school, women were not allowed to go outside her residence. Ram mohun Roy was deprived of hes ancestoral properties by his father as punishment for resisting "SATI" . Another notorious social evil was KULIN system. KULIN means the people belonging to higher cast. They had to marry 40/50, sometimes more than 100 minor girls in the name of keeping relegion, otherwise there were no place of those unmarried girls in the soceity. So in case of death of that KULIN male, all the girls got forcibly married with him became widow at ther pre-teen age. In short Superstition, blind religious belief, complete absence of education were some of the social evils in 19th century. Simaltaneously we should keep in mind that fight against those social evils were also commenced in 19 th century - thanks to Raja Ram mohun Roy , Pandit Ishwar chandra Vidyasagar, Keshab Chandre Sen , Jyotibha Phule and other greats of 19th century.

According to the religious taboos, the wives used to burn them­selves with their dead husbands. This act was known as “Sati”. This custom was practiced almost throughout the country. In the early years of the British rule this custom was more rampant in Bengal. This number of satis approximated more than three-fourths of the total in British India.

The number of statis was the largest in in Hooghly, Nadia and Burdwan of Calcutta Presidency. It showed an upward trend in the 1880’s in Ghazipur (Uttar Pradesh) and Shahabad (Bihar). It numbered between 27 and 40 in western India. It was, however, not performed in southern Konkan. Sati perfor­mances occurred more in Ganjam, Masulipattam and Tanjore in comparison to other parts of the southern peninsula.

It was rare in other places, and it was practiced mainly by the women of high caste such as Brahmins and Rajputs of Rajputana, the Punjab and Kashmir. Though it was, a noble act to the princely women, sati rites were generally performed by the middle and lower class women.
