Read the following paragraph carefully and answer the questions that follow: The Child Sati This is perhaps one of the most poignant desciptions by Beznier At Lahore, I saw a most beautiful young widow sacrificed, who could not, I think, have been more than twelve years of age. The poor little creature appeared more dead than alive when she approached the dreadful pit: the agony of her mind cannot be described, she trembled and wept bitterly, but three or four of the Brahmans, assisted by an old woman who held her under the arm, forced the unwilling victm toward the fatal spot, seated her on the wood, tied her hands and fect, lest she should run away, and in that situation the innocent creature was burnt alive. I found it difficult to repress my feelings and to prevent their bursting forth into clamorous and unavailing rage. Why did Bernier consider this treatment as a crucial marker of the difference between western and eastern societies?
