Cevap

The statement asserting that the Young Bengal Movement encouraged radical free thought, open questioning of tradition, and published periodicals like Parthenon to advocate social reform is correct.
The Young Bengal Movement, pioneered by Henry Vivian Derozio at Hindu College in the late 1820s, was characterized by radical intellectual enthusiasm, promotion of free thought, critique of orthodox religious customs, and publications such as the journal Parthenon.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the ideological foundation and activities of the Young Bengal Movement.
Henry Louis Vivian Derozio, a teacher at Hindu College in Kolkata during the late 1820s, inspired his students to think rationally, challenge dogmas, and demand freedom of thought and expression through societies and journals such as the Parthenon.
Understanding the primary character of the movement clarifies its intellectual nature.
2
Evaluate the socio-economic reach and limitations of the movement.
The movement was predominantly urban and academic; it did not develop strong linkages with agrarian peasant movements or rural masses.
This rules out claims of peasant mobilization.
3
Verify the chronological timeline and key leaders of related socio-legal reform acts.
Derozio passed away in 1831. The Hindu Widow Remarriage Act was passed in 1856 largely due to Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar's efforts.
This identifies the misattribution of colonial reform acts.
