Answer 1

What were the great contributions of Swami Vivekananda towards Indian society? Was he a real prophet of India? Why or why not?

I have already written about Swami Vivekananda here: @
Here, I am listing his contributions:
He was the first cultural ambassador to the west. He showed that India has much to contribute to world culture.
He also showed that Science and Religion is not contradictory but complimentary.
He gave an identity of who we are and what is Hinduism. He showed the common bases in different sections of Hinduism. He played a major role in unification of Hinduism. In words of sister Nivedita: "..it may be said that when he began to speak it was of ‘the religious ideas of the Hindus’, but when he ended, Hinduism had been created."
Defending Hinduism was one of the important work of his life. Missionaries of west and pseudo-intellectuals propagated their own understanding of Hinduism which were mostly negative in nature. He raised his voice against this and clarified the concepts of Hinduism thereby, giving self-pride to followers of Hinduism.
He founded RamKrishna Mission to propagate the teachings of his Guru (teacher) Sri RamKrishna Paramhans and interpreted many ancient Hindu scriptures in context of the modern world.
