Indian Renaissance

The Indian Renaissance refers to a period of cultural, social, and intellectual revival in India during the 19th and early 20th centuries. It saw a renewed interest in ancient Indian art, philosophy, and literature, alongside the influence of Western ideas. Key figures included thinkers like Raja Ram Mohan Roy and Swami Vivekananda, who advocated for social reforms, modernization, and education. This movement aimed to inspire national identity and unite diverse communities against colonial rule, leading to significant contributions in literature, education, and social change, ultimately laying the groundwork for India’s independence movement.
