Revivalists and Reformists of Modern India

The Present volume gives an elaborate account of the life of those who caused the revival of Hinduism and reformed the society when it was in a state of utter decadence. The advent of the British in India in the seventeenth century gradually but definitely eroded the economic, educational, social and cultural clay of India. The manes of Swami Vivekanand, Swami Dayanand and Swami Ram tirth are foremost who revived Hinduism and stalled the expansion of Christianity in the country. The list of social reformists is fairly long. Each one of them was a true visionary, who saw the writing on the wall of the moral decline of the society if it was not stopped. They created awareness amongst the masses and revolted against the existing decadent practices that were causing the social downfall of India. The book presents comprehensive details of the activities and movements that awoke India from her Stupor. The book is a must for students of social sciences and general readers to have an insight into the renaissance of modern India.
