Only Statement 1 is correct |
Raja Rammohun Roy’s attempts to reform society, religion and the status of women can be taken as the starting point of nineteenth century social reform in Bengal. Rammohun Roy’s ideas represented a curious mixture of Western rationality and an assertion of Indian traditionality. Rammohun attacked the practice of sati on the basis of both appeals to humanitarian and natural rights doctrines as well as Hindu shastras. |
