1774-1833
Raja Ram Mohan Roy, the pioneer of modern Indian Renaissance lived between the Battle of Plassey (1757) and the Great Indian Mutiny (1857). By introducing Western ideas of liberal democracy and reaffirming his faith in Advaita Vedanta, he gave a sense of direction to the course of India’s future development. He was the founder of the Brahma Samaj (1828) and a great leader of social reform. It was as a result of his persistent campaign that the cruel custom of Sati was declared illegal in 1829 A.D. by Lord William Bentick.

Rammohan roy is the first modern man of India. I believe that he has first unleashed the way to think and analyze the religion. Society and any other socio cultural aspects in a true way of self manifestation in the light of universal. He even taught the principles of universal cooperation lines of cultural understanding. As a whole he has first opened and paved the way of cultivating and upgrading the humanism by progressive intellectual thoughts and actions infront of the India. I personally respect him to a high degree. I get a mental satisfaction and confidence out of self realization going through his deeds works and seeing his photo even. |
