Reminiscence of Raja's house |
At the age of 16, Rammohun Roy, the pioneer of Indian renaissance and the greatest futurist of Bengal was forced to depart his paternal house for his strong belief in monotheism causing a personality clash with his father Ramkanta Banerjee who being a conservative Hindu Bramhin and to whom the then collector of Burdwan district attributed high opinion as the “most respectable man in the district” was an ardent propagator of polytheism. Before that Rammohun was married thrice while his first wife was expired one year after the wedlock when Rammohun was just nine years old.
