Depends on the language you are using how you spell and pronounce the vowels in 'sate', but it's a really old term going back well into the Ice Age. I am sure there are terms that are derivative of it.

Widows without their own support system "voluntarily" do a lot of things in impoverished societies. Getting burned to death is among the least of their worries ~ white washing old India (which, ta ta ta da) includes PAkistan ~ isn't in the cards. Too many witnesses from outside you know.

Pakistand is white washing India? Or you’re explaining that Pakistan used to be India, maybe.

India did not used to be impoverished in the eras when the sati rite was ever practiced. It was voluntary and rare. Widows were culturally taken care of by elder children and also dharmashalas.

The history of India as told by adversaries such as the British and Muslims is full of outright lies.

And Sanskrit is the oldest langage on earth and predates any Ice Age. “Sati” means chaste or devoted.

There are several languages far older than Sanskrit. But that's neither here nor there ~ except it's the OLDEST attested Indo-European language.

Sumerian, the language of the folks who invented writing, which is just one of the things used to attest to the age of Sanskrit, is older than that.

Current research suggests it and the core language behind the Finno-Ugric subgroup and possibly a different core language behind the Sa'ami languages is of Dravidian origin.

It'll take a lot more work to trick that out.

I know Sanskrit texts have some stories of events and conditions that could have existed ONLY in the Ice Age, but we don't really know the original language ~ maybe someday, but all these languages as they existed independent of writing in ancient times may well be older than dirt but without writing we do not know.

Languages disappear all the time anyway.

Now, about the Brits and Moslems telling lies about HIndu India, sure ~ they do that even today. But the Portuguese who were there quite a bit earlier tell the same stories.

I accept what the Vedas say about the history of the world, not historians with axes to grind and mistakes in understanding. The Portuguese were butchers when they came to Goa, btw.

That's Goa. But don't speak poorly of my people. Indians had been slaughtering each other for centuries and were well practiced in all the arts of war.

Obviously somebody messed up when you let the Ports debark!

Everyone in the world has been slaughtering each other for millenia.

Think of it this way - which history of the American Revolution is more accurate, the American version or the British version?

Etc.

Everything has degraded terribly in the last 5000 years. Populations slaughtered and dispersed, civilizations destroyed, cities drowned under water and covered with jungles, histories forgotten. After the war of Kurukshetra, it shortly went downhill all over the world.

I'd kick that back to 14000 ybp ~ now that was a trip ~ water everywhere, tsunamis, icebergs in the tsunamis, rolling downhill, flooding the valleys, oh, my word ~ something else!

Good thing we won't have to face another End Of The Glaciers event for another 100,000 years.

Note, Dwarka was recently discovered underwater ~ so it was an historic city right where the Mahabarat said it was ~ but a little offshore.

These things happen even without sealevel change. In fact, ancient Alexandria was found just a couple of decades ago ~ offshore!
