Answer:
Raja Rammohun Roy, known as the first modern man of India, was convinced that despite the evils inherent in imperialism, the British rule in India was destined to play a historic role. He saw how the country had fallen apart and got divided into numerous kingdoms and principalities mutually antagonistic to one another following the decline of the Mughal Empire that was supposed to have begun with the death of Aurangzeb in 1707.
A central rule under a constitutional system of Governance was the need of the hour and the British with its long and cherished democratic-administrative traditions could meet the demand of time, he strongly felt. Rammohun considered British rule in India as a historical necessity, a divine providence, albeit as a stopgap proposition, to facilitate India’s transition from the Middle Ages to the modern era.
