The Mughal Emperor who discouraged `Sati` was Akbar. Sati was a practice where a widow would self-immolate on her husband`s funeral pyre. Akbar, known for his religious tolerance and progressive policies, disapproved of this practice. He sought to discourage Sati by promoting education, women`s empowerment, and social reforms. Akbar was influenced by various factors including the teachings of the Sufi saint, Sheikh Salim Chishti, who advocated for the rights and welfare of women. Akbar`s efforts against the practice of Sati helped in reducing its prevalence during his reign. It is important to note that while Akbar discouraged Sati, it was not completely abolished during his time and continued to be practiced to some extent in certain parts of the Mughal Empire.
