jan 1, 1827 - Young Bengal movement by Henry Vivian Derozio 1827
Description:
In calcutta, the Derozians attacked old and decadent customs, rites and traditions. Theywere passionate advocates of women’s rights and demanded education for
them. They did not, however, succeed in creating a movement because
social conditions were not yet ripe for their ideas to flourish.
