  • Ishwar Chandra Vidya Sagar
  • Vivekananda
  • Justice movement
  • self- respect movement

  • Revivalist tendencies
  • Narrow social base
  • Ahmadiyya movement
  • Dharma Sabha

  • created a national arousing among masses. Indians understood their rich history and invested heavily in their culture. This fashioned a national personality

 

  • Ram Mohan Roy and Vidyasagar energetically upheld against standing framework and mistreatment against women(Sati, youngster marriage). Ladies understood their correct full spot, henceforth cutting a personality for themselves.

 

  • promotion of logical and sound viewpoint made inclination freedom and patriotism.

 

  • The development gave the up and coming working-class social roots and diminished the feeling of mortification that the British forces had made.

 

The thoughts and exercises of the learned people were straightforwardly or by implication identified with the assignment of country building and national reconstruction. In a way, it was blocked to patriotism and a national personality.

  • How relevant is the study of 19th-century reforms in today’s India
  • The continuous struggle for imbibing nationalism
  • New challenges to National Identity
  • The fruits and undesirable byproducts of Indian renaissance, both have become part of the daily existence of Today’s India. So, it is vital to study the reforms of the 19th century to study Today’s Indian society.
  • Even in this 21st century, India is yet to fully achieve the ideals of Humanism, Universalism and Rationalism. Continuous Reforms in society and religion will strengthen the National identity among the masses.
  • Misinformation/superstition in the age of the Internet presents a new challenge to Nationalism and national identity. The positive elements of the 19th century can act as guiding light.
