| Raja Rammohan Roy: A Reading for the
Twenty-First Century Dr. Sayak Mukherjee, Assistant Professor, Department of Bengali, Tripura University, Tripura, India. | |
Raja Ram Mohan Roy, a visionary reformer of the early 19th century in India, left an
indelible mark on Nation and its culture through his tireless efforts for social reformation
and his progressive ideas. He was a staunch advocate of abolishing inhuman regressive
practices. His relentless campaign against caste-based discrimination and his push for
women's education were revolutionary at a time when these problems were deeply
entrenched in society. Ram Mohan Roy's work continues to be highly relevant in today’s
society. His emphasis on education as a means of empowerment has paved the way for
increased literacy and gender equality in India. His vision for a more just and inclusive
society laid the groundwork for subsequent social reform movements and even influenced
the drafting of the Indian Constitution. In today's world, where social inequalities persist,
Ram Mohan Roy's principles of rationality, individual rights, and social justice continue to
inspire change-makers and advocates for a fairer society. His legacy serves as a reminder
that even in the face of deeply rooted traditions, one person's dedication to progressive
ideals can catalyze lasting social transformation. Rammohan Roy remains an icon of social
reform, whose ideas and actions resonate with the ongoing quest for a more equitable and
just society. In this article, we will revisit and reanalyze the profound life and invaluable
contributions of Rammohan Roy. | |
