Book Synopsis Sati, the Blessing and the Curse by : John Stratton Hawley
Book excerpt: Sati symbolizes ultimate loyalty and self-sacrifice. It often figures near the core of a Hindu identity that feels embattled in a modern world. Yet to those who deplore it, sati is a curse, a violation of every woman's womanhood.
