Rammohan Roy,popularly known as 'the father of Modern India' was born in
1774 at Radhanagar,Bengal.He belonged to an orthodox Brahmin,but
rich Zamindar family.He mastered in Persian ,Arabic and Muslim
law at Patna,and Sanskrit and Hindu shahstra at Benaras.In 1797,he
joined the service of the East India Company as Diwan under Thomas
Wood Forde and later under Rigby.He learned English,Greek,Latin and
Hebrew and studied Bible and others works of Christian
theologist.He
learned trancisism from Haricharananda Tirthascecamy at Rangpur
and also learned Jain and Buddhists philosophies.He got the title of
Raja from Akbar II ,the Mughal king,who sent him to england in
1830.Raja Ram died at Bristol in 1833.
Though,the service of the Rammohan Roy were in the field of relegious
reform,but he is the pioneer for the important secular movement
in the history of India.He is infact,the prophet of modern ideas,the
first modern man in India and herald of the New age.There was no
sphere of national life which was left untouched by them.
Rammohan Roy started a campaign for the abolition of sati,condolenced
polygamy,denounce castecism,,advocate the right of Hindu
widows to remarry.With his active persuasion Lord William
Bentinck
passed the famous regulation.In 1829 ,that declared sari illegal
and punishable by courts.Rammohan Roy was fully alive to the challenge
that had come to India in the form of Western civilisation and felt
strongly the needs for a new philosophy which would absord and
assimilate the modernism imparted from the west,without sacrificing the genuine spiritual heritage of India.He warmly advocate the
introduction of science and technology into the educational curriculum of India and became a popular of English education and enlightened
journalism in the country.
He argued for the reform of Hindu law,led the protests against the heavy
restriction on the Indian Press and sent petition to the Supreme Court and
King- in-council for the purpose.Thus,he strengthened the cause of
freedom of speech.He fought against the government rigid oppressive
land laws in written memorandum submitted to the joint select
committee.He sought to safeguard the rights of the peasantry against
those of Zamindari and invested on education in rent.He praised
the substitution of english for persian as the official language
in the court of the English East India Company.
He
was a pioneer in the realm of literature.By writings book in Bengal,Urdu,Persian,Sanskrit
and english ,he strengthener the literary
traditions of our country and enriched our national treasure.In
1803,he published a Persian book called Tuhfal-ul-muwahidin
or 'A gift to monothesists' and in 1820 published a
remarkable book in English ,'The precepts of Jesus,the guide to peace and
happiness'.He also started the first Bengali weekly 'Samvad Kaumudi'
and three years later the murutal Akbar in Persian.Thus ,he was a
pioneer in the sphere of journalism.He guided the younger generation
of the Bengali writers.
Rammohan Roy was certainly the first star on the Indian intellectual
of the 19th century.In 1833 he passed away at Bristol in England
learning behind his ideas and the message of modernisation for
others to
pursue.
