RELIGIOUS REFROM
MOVEMENTS IN MODERN INDIA
W
e are a surpassingly lucky people today. We are set ~ from foreign domination and also
independent from many other rigidities which our ancestors had to stand over against. The Indian
society in the pristine half of the 19th century was varna ridden, decadent and rigid.
It followed undisputed practices which are not in feed with humanitarian feelings or values
only were still being followed in the celebrity of religion. A change was in return needed in
society. When the British came to India they introduced the English speech as well as
certain modern ideas. These ideas were those of liberty, social and economic equality,
fraternity, democrats and justice which had a frightful impact on Indian society.
Fortunately in opposition to our country there were some highly civilized Indians like Raja Ram Mohan
Roy, Ishwar Chand Vidyasagar, Dayanand Saraswati and sundry others who were willing
to take arms and bring in reforms in union so that it could face the challenges of the West.
