Indian Reform Movements refer to a series of social and religious initiatives in India during the 19th and early 20th centuries aimed at addressing social issues and promoting modernization. Key figures like Raja Ram Mohan Roy and Swami Vivekananda played significant roles in advocating for women's rights, education, and the abolition of practices like sati and caste discrimination. These movements sought to challenge traditional norms and promote rational thinking, often influenced by Western ideas. Organizations such as the Arya Samaj and the Brahmo Samaj emerged, focusing on social reform and the revival of Indian culture while encouraging a more progressive society.
