What practice did the british end in India?

The British ended the practice of Sati (or Suttee) in India, which involved the self-immolation of widows on their husbands' funeral pyres. This practice was officially prohibited in 1829 by Governor-General Lord William Bentinck, who viewed it as inhumane and a violation of human rights. The ban was part of broader social reform efforts by the British, although it faced significant opposition from some Indian communities.
