The correct option is B Raja Ram Mohan Roy
Ram Mohan Roy
was educated in traditional languages like Sanskrit and Persian. He came across
English much later in life and learned the language to get better employment
with the British. But a voracious reader, he devoured English literature and
journals, extracting as much knowledge as he could. He realised that while
traditional texts like Vedas, Upanishads and Quran provided him with much
reverence for philosophy, his knowledge was lacking in scientific and rational
education. He advocated the introduction of an English Education System in the
country teaching scientific subjects like Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and
even Botany. He paved the way to revolutionizing education system in India by
establishing Hindu College in 1817 along with David Hare which later went on to
become one of the best educational institutions in the country producing some
of the best minds in India. His efforts to combine true to the roots
theological doctrines along with modern rational lessons saw him establish the
Anglo-Vedic School in 1822 followed by the Vedanta College in 1826.
