Hi,
Your answer :
The bicentennial of the French Revolution provides an opportunity to evaluate the scope of this major event in world history. Its impact, very noticeable in Europe, was not long in being felt in the different regions of the Eastern world, and particularly in India. It is the Indian aspect of the revolution that I propose to study.
The French Revolution influenced Indian thinking to such an extent that it contributed in part to the nineteenth century modernization and Renaissance, of which Ram Mohan Roy was the pioneer. The first among the Indians, he grasped the historical significance of the French Revolution and was deeply impressed by it. There was no sign of modernization before 1798; nevertheless Sir Jadunath Sarkar observes that the British government had helped to plunge India into the whirlwind of European thought and culture. Ram Mohan Roy and his contemporaries such as Dwarakanath Tagore, Derozio and the young radicals of Bengal (Bengal) were impregnated so that their understanding of revolutionary message was facilitated. Ram Mohan Roy and the Derozians had become familiar with the works of Voltaire, Montesquieu and Rousseau and meditated the revolutionary principles of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity that contrasted with the general situation of India at that time. Aware that they were not applicable to their country, they saw them as ideals to cultivate more than to put into practice. The desire to fight against the injustice and tyranny that animated the revolutionaries excited Indian intellectuals. Ram Mohan Roy was particularly seduced by the ideas of solidarity of Nations and fraternity of men. In a letter to Talleyrand, French Foreign Minister, he pleaded for the free movement of people from one country to another without a passport. He was also in favor of Rousseau's idea of a federation of peaceful republics. We know with what enthusiasm he welcomed the revolution of 1830. The Derozians as Dakshinaranjan Mukherjee; Radhanath Sikdar, Ramtanu Lahiri, Rasikkrishna Mullick and Tarachand Chakravarti also followed the progress of the Revolution as they continued their studies at Hindu College. Derozio, who himself had seen the dawn of a new era in the Revolution, served them as a mentor. The radicals noticed, like Ram Mohan Dwarakanath and other moderates, that an abyss separated the implications of the French Revolution from the Indian reality and had to admit the limits of their action. Like Ram Mohan Roy, they tried to use revolutionary principles to pressure the British government.
Good bye :)
