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.
