Bog beskrivelse
Rammohun Roy (c.1772-1833) is counted amongst the most influential intellectuals of Modern India. But even after a century of debate and enquiry, scholars are still not quite sure whether he was a consistent and articulate political thinker, or a man of intellectual compromise and paradox. This book argues that Rammohun was a consistent thinker who creatively responded to the political challenges of the East India Company''s government in India by reading deeply into Sanskritic and Indo-Persian intellectual traditions to develop a political thought of his own.Rammohun''s political thought was concerned with three distinct but related themes: i) the restructuring of the East India Company''s administration from a distant and invisible government at London to Calcutta; ii) the importanceof ethical practice in Bengali society; and iii) the legal and ethical obligation of the Company to be accountable to its subjects. Rammohun consistently stressed the importance of societal ethics and highlighted the consequencesof the distance between London and Bengal on governmental accountability. A unity of thought can thus be identified in his work.
