[QUOTE="Ixal, post: 8665059, member: 7030132"] I doubt they feared that people would not like Aouda, they feared showing Sati. The same pressure that Felice Kuan felt about not showing bad stuff about cultures, just this time without the support of several writes which lead to the inclusion of bad aspects in her work. Who excerted the pressure? Thats a bit complicated. The producers and people with money of course, but they only listen to the marketing experts about what to show and what not and those experts look at twitter and social media. Not sure when Sati started. I know that Mughal sources mention it (although not from when those sources were) and according to the British it was nearly exclusively a Bhramin thing. But there are apparently sources from way before the Mughals (around 6th century) and even some greek texts from the time of Alexander mention woman burning themselves, although that is sporadic and unclear if its (already) a established practice. And the Government made new anti-Sati laws in the 1980s. So its has been going on for a long time. Not sure what the maternal status of Aouda was in the animation, but in the Jules Verne original she was a widow (married against her will), so Sati would apply to her. [/QUOTE]
