Balinese term for a mass ritual suicide
Puputan (Balinese: ᬧᬸᬧᬸᬢᬦ᭄) is a Balinese term for a mass ritual suicide in preference to facing the humiliation of surrender. It originally seems to have meant a last desperate attack against a numerically superior enemy. Notable puputans in the history of Bali occurred in 1906 and 1908, when the Balinese were being subjugated by the Dutch.
