Modern Hindu Reformists

Hinduism is not only a religion but also an Indian socio-cultural lifestyle. After the decline of Hinduism over time, many Hindu scriptures' teachings, such as the Vedas and the Upanishads, were distorted and replaced by superstitions and dogmatic thoughts. Hindu socio-religious reform movements in nineteenth-century India played a crucial role in the transformation of Indian society. They tried to reinterpret the scriptures and use the new knowledge to bring about fundamental reform in Hinduism that suited modern life. In this book, the author has tried to introduce two Hindu socio-religious reform movements in the nineteenth century to examine the reasons, conditions, and characteristics of the characteristics of Hindu reform movements. The author has also tried to examine the relationship between Islamic teachings on the formation or reinterpretation of the Indian philosophical and social system.
