Question

Among the following statements, which one is correctly matched?

• A. Raja Ram Mohan Roy - David Hare
• B. Henry Vivian Derozia - Bethume School
• C. Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar - Hindu College
• D. Jotiba Phule - Widow Remarriage Association

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Raja Ram Mohan Roy - David Hare

• David Hare, a Scottish watchmaker and philanthropist, was a key ally of Raja Ram Mohan Roy. Together, with the help of others like Radhakanta Deb, they established the Hindu College (now Presidency University) in Calcutta in 1817. • Their objective was to provide a liberal, Western-style education to Indian students, focusing on science, humanities, and English literature rather than traditional religious studies alone. • Henry Louis Vivian Derozio was linked with Hindu College, not Bethune School. • Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar was associated mainly with Sanskrit College. • Jyotirao Phule worked for widow remarriage and social reform, but not through an organization named “Widow Remarriage Association.”
