浅析印度教梵社运动

The Brahma Sama Campaign in the 19^(th) Century

梵社是“近代印度之父”罗摩.摩罕.罗易于十九世纪二十年代为宣扬其宗教主张和政治主张而创建的。它是罗易所领导的一个强大改革运动的最显著的产物,而这项改革明显是针对传统印度教自身的弊端,同时为了应对英国政府所施加的巨大压力而展开的。梵社运动对印度社会产生了深远的影响。一方面,它引进西方资本主义学说改变了印度社会的某些传统,革除了部分弊端,改造了人们的思想;另一方面,它也促进了印度民族主义的发展,为印度的独立创造了条件。

The Brahma Sama, found in the 1820s, was an embodiment of the influential social reform movement led by Ram Mohan Roy. The campaign was aimed to target the abuses and weaknesses of traditional Hinduism and sustain the profound reform both in its own orbit and under the pressure of the British government. It provided a strong social catalyst for modern Indian nationalism and thus a potential requirement for the Freedom Movement.
