Question
What do you know about Raja Rammohun Roy's movement for social reform?
✓
Answer
His movement at reforming the society, religion and the status of women could be taken as the starting point of 19th century social reform in Bengal.
A decade before establishing Brahmo Samaj in 1828, he undertook the campaign against Sati which was the first women's issue to receive public attention.
Roy's ideas presented a mix of western rationality and an assertion of Indian traditionality.
He, thus, attacked the practice of Sati on the basis of both appeals to humanitarian and natural rights doctrines as well as Hindu Shastras.
