19th-century Indian philosopher

In the 19th century, Indian philosophers like Swami Vivekananda and Rammohun Roy emerged as key figures who sought to blend traditional Indian thought with modern ideas. They emphasized rationalism, social reforms, and spirituality. Vivekananda, for example, popularized Hindu philosophy in the West and advocated for universal brotherhood. Rammohun Roy is known as the "Father of the Indian Renaissance" for his efforts to abolish practices like sati and promote education and women's rights. Together, these thinkers influenced the cultural and social landscape of India, promoting progress and a revival of Indian identity during colonial rule.
