Abstract
The first section of this chapter discusses the rise of a new leadership. The second section describes the rediscovery of India’s past. The third section describes Raja Rammohan Roy. The fourth section discusses the Young Bengal movement and the Brahmo Samaj. The fifth section describes the significance of social reform. The sixth section examines the cultural awakening of India. The seventh section describes reform and religious revival after the Great Revolt. The last section offers an evaluation of the Indian Renaissance. The tension that emerged between Hindu and Muslim was one of the principal shortcomings of the Indian Renaissance. Another was its exclusiveness. The cultural awakening was confined to the new English-educated elite. It also encouraged a habit of looking backward, to the heroic days of old India, rather than forward. Despite these drawbacks, the Indian Renaissance played an essential role in the creation of the Indian nation.
