Answers
Answer:
1. The printing press played a major role in the development of the reform movement. After advanced machinery was invented, a larger number of books came to be printed. These books instilled feelings of nationalism and revolution in the readers and this led to the social reform movement.
2. As the country is progressing in this millennium progressive thoughts have occupied many people's minds. Colonial rituals like Sati Pratha and Child Marriage are now looked down upon by the educated class of the society. Many are working for the development of the country now and some of the social evils may be safe to be termed as extinct now. India is amongst the too developing nations are a major part of the population is working hard to make India a better country. But again there is a small section of the society that has not progressed with modern thoughts and reforms and whose minds are still corrupted by the ancient no sensical rituals and thus are engaged in these activities. So it would be right to say that a major population has changed and accepted the reforms but still, there is a section of society that may be curbing the nation's development by engaging in social evils.
3. because the condition of widows was really miserable at that time... they were forced to practice 'sati pratha'.. they had to suffer from disrespect and taunts from the people.. that's why social reformers were interested in improving their condition.
4. Raja Ram Mohan Roy played a major role in the abolition of the Sati System in India. He was a founder of the Brahmo Sabha movement in 1828 which engendered the Brahmo Samaj, an influential Bengali socio-religious reform movement.
5. Sir Syed Ahmed Khan established the MAO College which eventually became the Aligarh Muslim University. He opposed ignorance, superstitions, and evil customs prevalent in Indian Muslim society. He firmly believed that Muslim society would not progress without the acquisition of western education and science.
