What to Focus On

  • Social evils included sati, child marriage, ban on widow remarriage, and caste discrimination.
  • Reform movements combined western liberal ideas with reinterpretation of Indian traditions.
  • Raja Ram Mohun Roy opposed sati using humanitarian, natural rights, and shastric arguments.

  • Satish Saberwal identified three aspects: communication, organisation, and ideas.
  • Printing press, telegraph, steamship, and railways spread ideas quickly.
  • New organisations like Brahmo Samaj and Arya Samaj played a major role.

  • The term Sanskritisation was coined by M.N. Srinivas.
  • It means adoption of the customs and style of life of a higher caste.
  • It is mainly a process within Hindu space.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Social reform movements in India began only after colonial rule, so there were no earlier attempts to fight discrimination.

Raja Ram Mohun Roy opposed sati only by using western humanitarian ideas, not Indian traditions.

The Brahmo Samaj supported sati, while the Dharma Sabha supported reform.
