The Indian Renaissance
The term ‘Renaissance’ is generally accepted as the term New birth or reawakening, and reopen. Renaissance, which started in Italy in 16th century. Signified the birth of Modern England, similarly Renaissance began in early phrases of 19th century resulted in the birth of Modern India.
'Indian Renaissance is a new birth in India the awakening of mind, soul or physical of Nation after a long and short sparn sleep, it is the galvanizing into creative activity of the door much like if the national spirit'
It is a spiritual artistic literary and social reformation. It was also the social period during which English education is spread.
Raja Rammohan Roy as The Father of Indian Renaissance
In Indian Renaissance Raja Ram Mohan Roy play a great role, even we can say, “The Father of Indian Renaissance.”
He was the Educationalist and the messenger of modern education at the time of British era in India. He was also the scholar of Sanskrit to read veda's in deep.
Brief introduction of Raja Ram
Raja Ram Mohan Roy was born on May 22,1772 in Rad Bengal. He is well known for his efforts to abolish the evil practices of sati.
The founder of Brahmo samaj
Raja Ram Mohan Roy founded Brahmo samaj in Culcutta on 1829. He was tirelessly fought against the social evils prevailing in the Indian society.
Brahmo samaj stood against the twin pillar of human reasons and vedas and Upnishad, thus he wanted to restore Hinduism to the position of ancient glory with no social evils, and he was also supported widow remarriage and woman education. It is also based on some adaption from Christian practices in its worship and also some influences of Islam. Success to programs of social reform. All over Raja Ram Mohan Roy’s involvement areas are from Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, polytheism, Religious syncretism. Where as Roy want to reform Hinduism from within, his successor, Debendranarh Tagore . Later on this is lead by Keshab chandrer Sen seceded and organized the Brahmo samaj of India in 1866 this older group became a new goup as the Adi an original Brahmo Samaj. This new branch truly became eclectic and cosmopolitan and it's influence became more valuable on struggle for social reform.
So, whole this discussion we can said that Raja Rammohan Roy is the really play a great part on the Reformation of the social practices and the to bring the Renaissance in India also.
As a great social reformer
Raja Rao is the great social reformer, his journey of reform the social practices is origin from his, when his elder brother’s death his wife, Roy's bhabhi has force to became a Sati, at time saw the situation of his bhabhi and try to prevent them but not succeed in that, and at that time he decided to he must be abolished this sati practices in from this society, there where many women, who want to live her life even for her child but still she has to be by force became sati. It's very crucial act for widow, so by the Raja Rao’s hard efforts it’s became possible to abolished of sati pratha in 1829,by declaring it an offence. That’s the main aspect and first gold sun shine in our Indian Renaissance.
The awakening has borne fruit, negatively in reforms like the abolition of sati, widow remarriage, the Harijans,etc.
Raja Ram Mohan Roy's works on Indian English writing
Raja Ram Mohan Roy was the master on the language, he can be wrote and spoke in fluency on English as well as French and Sanskrit. He has deep reading on vedas and Upnishada as well as Geeta.
He wrote on the contemporary situation in his works, form of Novel, Drama, journals etc.
Raja Ram Mohan Roy, who did much pioneering work in Bengali prose and wrote the journal sqmbqd,kttumudi.
By eliminating from it all questionable practices and principles;he declared that he had found
“The doctrines of Christ more conducive to moral principles, and better adapted for the use of rational beings” than any other that had come to his knowledge. Ram Mohan was a sincere soul social injustices angered him to the pitch of frenzy.
• Journalism:
Roy published journals in English, Hindi, persian and Bengali. His most popular journal was the sambad Kaumudi. It covered issues like freedom of press, separation of the executive and judiciary etc. He remains the greatest social reformer, scholar and educationalist, India has ever seen.
“ The superstitious practices which deform the religion have nothing to do with the pure spirit of its dictates”
-Raja Ram Mohan Roy
Needs of Raja Ram's thoughts in present time in India :
As we know that Raja Ram was played great role to make our society better and abolished social evils, which became the barrier for our society as a dangerous disease for society like sati pratha, sunk the new born baby girl into milk, some heavy and useless rules for widows which makes her life meaningless and no interest in her life by these types of rules, these all social evils abolished by him. In short he makes our society better as a social reform.
So, we can said that still we needs Raja ram’s thought to apply in somehow and somewhere to solve and bring our society free from remaining social evils, because still there are many social evils are alive and continue to damage and became as a barrier for society to be blossomed our lives openly in society. There are many social issues in Hindu and Muslim religion, Caste system and many other issues, now a days there is one more rules and we can say that right for the Muslim women is that they can get divorce but not rejected by his husband by saying trippal talaq. So , no doubt we have abolished my social evils, but somewhere somehow some social evils like in some village still have caste system and untouchability ex. The Lawyer class people have not allowed to walk with his sandal even they can’t ride their vehicles when they entered into the village, and with dalit's caste still not fair behaviour, some untouchability issue is still there, so we have to needs some Raja Ram Mohan Roy thought to abolished that.

Topic : Eve as representation of women.
Paradise lost by John Milton
Milton play a great lore to make our literature famous. He was the great puritan writer. He was English poet, pamphleteer, and historian and also considered as most significant literary figure of English literature. The one should noticeable thing is his blindness. He is famous for his great epic poem, Paradise lost. His another works is,
• “Camus”
• “Paradise Lost”
• “Areopagitica”
• “Samson Agonistes”
• “Lycidas”
• “ll Perseroso”
A new man and new principle had arisen in England, one of them is Milton, the man of thought.
• Paradise Lost:
Paradise Lost is written by great puritan writer John Milton. The epic poem Paradise Lost divided into 12 book. This idea originally came from holy Bible. There is different story from Bible. John Milton rewrite the story as a human perspective while The Bible is from Devine perspective.
• God,
• Adam & Eve,
• Satan.
In this Milton’s paradise lost the character Adam and Eve is not quite muted character as in the Bible, they have also some argues, especially the character Eve is seems to be more rational and alive character in the Milton’s paradise Lost.
• Character study:
God :
In this epic poem we can see the God as the ruler of Heaven and the universe. He create the world and the creature as well as human being like him, Adam and Eve. He knows everything thing, but he doesn’t very relatable and have emotions like the other character and his announcement often cold and harsh.
Satan:
Satan, as a rebellion to argue that, God’s newly created race of humans as Eve and Adam, even we can recognized him as the antagonist of this story.
Adam:
Adam, represents as an innocent and true lover, is created by God’s rib. He has also human emotions.
Eve:
The character of Eve only represent lively and rational character. She is more intellectual than Adam, she ate an apple only for knowledge to know what is right and what is wrong. She is always curious to know.
So, let’s discuss in detail about the character Eve as the representation of woman.
Eve as the representation of the women
Literature has always played and continues to play, an important in the gender studies what has been called “gender ideology”, about the social order through the representation of women, we can also find out the root difference between men and women.
Through this epic poem ,Paradise Lost the character of Eve as employing gender as a category of historical and literary analysis , we can apply underlying construction of femininity, how conflicting GLAE representation of Eve in chapter-2. A numbers of scene of this work represent Eve as a feminized image of sin while other scenes, is contrasting, subtly present her as the model of Orthodox and righteousness, with the connection of gender formation.
Creation of “Man” and “Woman” according to Bible
In the Bible we can know that the creation of “Man” and “woman” by the God, Firstly is told briefly in Genesis 1:27: God “create a man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” But it also said and define further that “woman” named because she came from man's worm, by this we can see that man and woman is not equal but woman represent as inferior than man, infect this is rationally totally wrong because the scientifically and physically man is came from woman’s worm, but we can see here mentality of society, when the Bible was created though this sentence as woman's value in society.
Eve’s treated as a woman in paradise Lost
Here I would like to present some original sentence from paradise lost, which shows the woman should be use for that types of work,
In woman than to study household good, And good works in her husband to promote, yet not so strictly hath our Lord imposed Labour as to debar us when we need Refreshment, whether food or talk.
The very starting of the work we can read that, she is created from Adam's rib as his helpmeet, through this we can know that the aim of the creation of women for helpmeet, nothing else, and also shows that she is inferior than Adam, not even equal, so mentality is somehow still in human mind, mentality towards women is not equal but down.
Eve as the curious, that’s represents women desire
In this work, Eve is more curious and intellectual than Adam, when Satan in the serpent form tried to tempted her, she doesn’t accept directly, but in order to know the knowledge of what is right and what is wrong like God, she ate it. She also want to became superior than Adam. Through this we can see that Eve is curious woman and also like freedom for every thing ,even she considered God as imperfect by the maker wise, if he can not let’s live the life as happy state or free to live. She says that
“Let us not then suspect our happy state
Left so imperfect by the Maker Wise
As not secure to single or combined.
Frail is our happiness, if this be so.”
Though this we can define the character Eve as a raise her voice for Freedom, even against God, this represent the power of woman as well as her desire to live a life free.
In this epic poem, paradise lost, we can see that Eve's forbidden of God’s rule by eating the Apple, which is denied by God. When she knew that , that Apple tree is tree of knowledge and which by eating we can be knowledgeable to what is right and what is wrong like God. She is curious to know, by this what is the wrong. We can considered the character Eve's desire or freedom as the woman. There are many woman which is even in present time victim of this Orthodox types of thing, woman, who is always want to know every thing and have many desires but people considered as a forbidden.
Eve and the Identity of women
In the Paradise Lost much of the story of Adam and Eve can be considered as nonetheless perceived as containing fundamental, and largely negative, “truth” about the nature of women.
For the last two thousand years or so, Eve has represented the fundamental character and identity of all women. Through Eve's words and actions, the true nature of women was revealed; her story tells men what women are really like. By this we should have question that, is this effect beneficial for society or not?
Eve represents everything about a woman a man should guard against. By this we may have raise the question, is women not capable to guard herself?, why make the women weak by this type of bias to guard by man? In present time women are rapped by man, than how can we accept the man is guard the women.
Eve represents in both form and symbol, Eve is woman, and because of her, the prevalent belief in the West has been that all women are by nature disobedient, seductive, guileless, weak-willed, prone to temptation and evil, disloyal, deceitful, untrustworthy, and motivated in their thoughts and behaviour purely by self-interest.
No matter what women might achieve in the world, the message of Genesis warns men not to trust them, and women not to trust themselves or each other. By this we can says that, is it true? What, man is always right or faithful or women is not? That’s not
not rational or reasonable for social construction, or for women. If we continue in than further discussion like, whoever she might be and whatever her accomplishments, no woman can escape being identified with Eve, or being identified as her, by this we can say that that’s not rational if one woman done mistake is done by all Woman. It is not true at all and irrational thought.
In the West, the story of Eve has served over the centuries as the principal document in support of measures and laws to curtail and limit the actions, rights, and status of women. The Pseudo-St. Paul, for example, in his pastoral Epistle to St. Timothy, could cite Genesis as the reason why women should not be allowed to teach or to tell a man what to do:
For I do not allow woman to teach, or to
Exercise authority over men; but she is to
Keep silent. For Adam was formed first,
Then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.
(1 Timothy 2:12-14)
Conclusion:
In short, whole this discussion we can say that the Paradise Lost as an epic poem is about the Eve, because poem based on her disobedient and the identified as the woman.

So, we can said that still we needs Raja ram’s thought to apply in somehow and somewhere to solve and bring our society free from remaining social evils, because still there are many social evils are alive and continue to damage and became as a barrier for society to be blossomed our lives openly in society. There are many social issues in Hindu and Muslim religion, Caste system and many other issues, now a days there is one more rules and we can say that right for the Muslim women is that they can get divorce but not rejected by his husband by saying trippal talaq. So , no doubt we have abolished my social evils, but somewhere somehow some social evils like in some village still have caste system and untouchability ex. The Lawyer class people have not allowed to walk with his sandal even they can’t ride their vehicles when they entered into the village, and with dalit's caste still not fair behaviour, some untouchability issue is still there, so we have to needs some Raja Ram Mohan Roy thought to abolished that.

Topic : Eve as representation of women.
Paradise lost by John Milton
Milton play a great lore to make our literature famous. He was the great puritan writer. He was English poet, pamphleteer, and historian and also considered as most significant literary figure of English literature. The one should noticeable thing is his blindness. He is famous for his great epic poem, Paradise lost. His another works is,
• “Camus”
• “Paradise Lost”
• “Areopagitica”
• “Samson Agonistes”
• “Lycidas”
• “ll Perseroso”
A new man and new principle had arisen in England, one of them is Milton, the man of thought.
• Paradise Lost:
Paradise Lost is written by great puritan writer John Milton. The epic poem Paradise Lost divided into 12 book. This idea originally came from holy Bible. There is different story from Bible. John Milton rewrite the story as a human perspective while The Bible is from Devine perspective.
• God,
• Adam & Eve,
• Satan.
In this Milton’s paradise lost the character Adam and Eve is not quite muted character as in the Bible, they have also some argues, especially the character Eve is seems to be more rational and alive character in the Milton’s paradise Lost.
• Character study:
In this epic poem we can see the God as the ruler of Heaven and the universe. He create the world and the creature as well as human being like him, Adam and Eve. He knows everything thing, but he doesn’t very relatable and have emotions like the other character and his announcement often cold and harsh.
Satan:
Satan, as a rebellion to argue that, God’s newly created race of humans as Eve and Adam, even we can recognized him as the antagonist of this story.
Adam:
Adam, represents as an innocent and true lover, is created by God’s rib. He has also human emotions.
Eve:
The character of Eve only represent lively and rational character. She is more intellectual than Adam, she ate an apple only for knowledge to know what is right and what is wrong. She is always curious to know.
So, let’s discuss in detail about the character Eve as the representation of woman.
Eve as the representation of the women
Literature has always played and continues to play, an important in the gender studies what has been called “gender ideology”, about the social order through the representation of women, we can also find out the root difference between men and women.
Through this epic poem ,Paradise Lost the character of Eve as employing gender as a category of historical and literary analysis , we can apply underlying construction of femininity, how conflicting GLAE representation of Eve in chapter-2. A numbers of scene of this work represent Eve as a feminized image of sin while other scenes, is contrasting, subtly present her as the model of Orthodox and righteousness, with the connection of gender formation.
Creation of “Man” and “Woman” according to Bible
In the Bible we can know that the creation of “Man” and “woman” by the God, Firstly is told briefly in Genesis 1:27: God “create a man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” But it also said and define further that “woman” named because she came from man's worm, by this we can see that man and woman is not equal but woman represent as inferior than man, infect this is rationally totally wrong because the scientifically and physically man is came from woman’s worm, but we can see here mentality of society, when the Bible was created though this sentence as woman's value in society.
Eve’s treated as a woman in paradise Lost
Here I would like to present some original sentence from paradise lost, which shows the woman should be use for that types of work,
In woman than to study household good, And good works in her husband to promote, yet not so strictly hath our Lord imposed Labour as to debar us when we need Refreshment, whether food or talk.
The very starting of the work we can read that, she is created from Adam's rib as his helpmeet, through this we can know that the aim of the creation of women for helpmeet, nothing else, and also shows that she is inferior than Adam, not even equal, so mentality is somehow still in human mind, mentality towards women is not equal but down.
Eve as the curious, that’s represents women desire
In this work, Eve is more curious and intellectual than Adam, when Satan in the serpent form tried to tempted her, she doesn’t accept directly, but in order to know the knowledge of what is right and what is wrong like God, she ate it. She also want to became superior than Adam. Through this we can see that Eve is curious woman and also like freedom for every thing ,even she considered God as imperfect by the maker wise, if he can not let’s live the life as happy state or free to live. She says that
“Let us not then suspect our happy state
Left so imperfect by the Maker Wise
As not secure to single or combined.
Frail is our happiness, if this be so.”
Though this we can define the character Eve as a raise her voice for Freedom, even against God, this represent the power of woman as well as her desire to live a life free.
In this epic poem, paradise lost, we can see that Eve's forbidden of God’s rule by eating the Apple, which is denied by God. When she knew that , that Apple tree is tree of knowledge and which by eating we can be knowledgeable to what is right and what is wrong like God. She is curious to know, by this what is the wrong. We can considered the character Eve's desire or freedom as the woman. There are many woman which is even in present time victim of this Orthodox types of thing, woman, who is always want to know every thing and have many desires but people considered as a forbidden.
Eve and the Identity of women
In the Paradise Lost much of the story of Adam and Eve can be considered as nonetheless perceived as containing fundamental, and largely negative, “truth” about the nature of women.
For the last two thousand years or so, Eve has represented the fundamental character and identity of all women. Through Eve's words and actions, the true nature of women was revealed; her story tells men what women are really like. By this we should have question that, is this effect beneficial for society or not?
Eve represents everything about a woman a man should guard against. By this we may have raise the question, is women not capable to guard herself?, why make the women weak by this type of bias to guard by man? In present time women are rapped by man, than how can we accept the man is guard the women.
Eve represents in both form and symbol, Eve is woman, and because of her, the prevalent belief in the West has been that all women are by nature disobedient, seductive, guileless, weak-willed, prone to temptation and evil, disloyal, deceitful, untrustworthy, and motivated in their thoughts and behaviour purely by self-interest.
No matter what women might achieve in the world, the message of Genesis warns men not to trust them, and women not to trust themselves or each other. By this we can says that, is it true? What, man is always right or faithful or women is not? That’s not
not rational or reasonable for social construction, or for women. If we continue in than further discussion like, whoever she might be and whatever her accomplishments, no woman can escape being identified with Eve, or being identified as her, by this we can say that that’s not rational if one woman done mistake is done by all Woman. It is not true at all and irrational thought.
In the West, the story of Eve has served over the centuries as the principal document in support of measures and laws to curtail and limit the actions, rights, and status of women. The Pseudo-St. Paul, for example, in his pastoral Epistle to St. Timothy, could cite Genesis as the reason why women should not be allowed to teach or to tell a man what to do:
For I do not allow woman to teach, or to
Exercise authority over men; but she is to
Keep silent. For Adam was formed first,
Then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.
(1 Timothy 2:12-14)
Conclusion:
In short, whole this discussion we can say that the Paradise Lost as an epic poem is about the Eve, because poem based on her disobedient and the identified as the woman.
