RM Roy is a major figure in India's colonial history with many contributions to society.
Watch "Ram Mohan Roy & Decline of Sanskrit". Then vote in the polls below.

1) People criticize Macaulay for replacing the traditional education with Anglicized education. Should they also know that Roy pioneered that proposal a decade before Macaulay, and wrote to the British asking them to replace Sanskrit with English medium?

2) Should people know that Roy worked as an employee of the East India Company in a senior capacity, helping them rule over his fellow Indians?

3) Do you agree with the later part of the video where I say that we should have pride in our regional identities (Punjabi, Bengali, Tamilian, etc.) but higher priority must go to Rashtra?

4) There is no "appeasement" movement in Punjab supporting "Punjabi bhais" of Pakistan-Punjab & wanting them allowed across the border into India. Should people of W Bengal also be Indians first & stop appeasement of Bangladesh Muslims?

I dont take Ajit Vadakayil at face value. But many of his allegations against Ram Mohan Roy are true. Many other claims I dont know about. Can people do fact checking on this, please? ajitvadakayil.blogspot.com/2011/07/opium-…
