The Department of Journalism and Mass Communication of The Bhawanipur Education Society College conducted a special lecture titled “Journey of an Indian Pilgrim: Rammohan Roy” on 4th November 2022. The resource person was Prof. Debjani Ganguly, Associate Professor of the Department of History. The lecture was not only attended by the students but also by faculty members of different departments of the college.
The workshop started with a welcome speech by a student of the JMC department, Ishaan Bandhopadhyay. The lecture began with addressing Rammohan Roy as the “First Modern Man.” In the due course of the lecture, it was highlighted that Rammohan Roy had two major ideals which he followed throughout his life, i.e. – his love for rationalism and his love for individual freedom. Apart from being the founder of the two major newspapers in India, Sambad Kaumudi (Bengali) and Mirat – Ul – Akhbar (Persian), Rammohan Roy also wrote his first religious text in 1820 in Persian, “Tuhafat – Ul – Muwahidin,” where he showed his respect for the monotheistic aspect of the Islam.
Rammohan Roy’s pledge to uphold the rights of women was elaborately explained by the lecturer. Multiple aspects of journalistic Rammohan Roy were also highlighted in a detailed way. The lecture became lively with the students and the faculty members’ direct interaction with the eminent speaker. It facilitated clearing doubts about some points highlighted by the resource person. The session ended with a vote of thanks delivered by Ms. Shaswati Das. She thanked the speaker for such a wonderful and informative session on Raja Rammohan Roy and hoped of having more sessions like this in the future.
