Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a deep dive into the life, thought, and impact of Raja Rammohun Roy, an iconic figure who played a pivotal role in shaping modern India. Beginning with the India of Rammohun Royâs birth, a time of intellectual and spiritual decline, the author traces the development of his ideas and his journey from a staunch Hindu to a proponent of monotheism and social reform. The book delves into his struggles against social injustices such as Sati, a practice of burning widows alive on their husband's funeral pyres. Highlighting Roy's efforts to combine the best of Eastern and Western thought, the book explores his engagements with Christianity and his profound influence on the Brahmo Samaj, a social and religious reform movement that rejected idolatry and advocated for reason and universal brotherhood. This book brings to life a remarkable individual whose legacy continues to inspire and shape the ongoing development of modern India.
