               The NP Chronicle 
                        22nd May 

Quotes by Raja Ram Mohan Roy:

  • "Cows are of different colours, but the colour of their milk is the same. Different teachers have different opinions, but the essence of every religion is the same."
  • "The foundation of true religion is to be found in morality and not in ritual."
  • "No religion prescribes the burning of a woman's body; the scriptures do not allow the destruction of a woman's soul." 
  • "Ignorance is the root cause of all evil."
  • "Education is the key to eliminating ignorance and raising the value of mankind."
  • "If mankind are brought into existence, and by nature formed to enjoy the comforts of society and the pleasure of an improved mind, they may be justified in opposing any system, religious, domestic or political, which is inimical to the happiness of society, or calculated to debase the human intellect." 

    • Today is:
