Question

What were the Social and Cultural changes?

Answer 1

In 19th century, awareness among the people about what was happening in the world was much more than in previous centuries. This process was facilitated by the British rule in India. Comparison with European thought and practices led to a questioning of the traditional practices and rituals. The spread of western education also had a major role to play in this. Some people tried to bring about changes in the country, politically and socially. Many of these social changes in the country, ultimately paved the way for its modernisation.
