Renaissance Walk

Kolkata’s Thought Corridor

Kolkata

“Bengal’s Renaissance, spanning the 19th and early 20th centuries, was a cultural and intellectual awakening that reshaped Indian society. Influenced by Western education and progressive thought, it produced reformers like Raja Ram Mohan Roy, who fought against social evils like Sati, and Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, who championed women’s education. It also saw literary and artistic giants like Rabindranath Tagore and Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay. The movement fostered scientific inquiry, nationalism, and social reform, ultimately influencing India’s freedom struggle. This era marked Bengal as a hub of progressive ideas, blending tradition with modernity to redefine Indian identity.”
