    Information Booster:

    • The book "Brief Remarks Regarding Modern Encroachments on the Ancient Rights of Females" was written by Raja Ram Mohan Roy, a pioneering social reformer of 19th-century India.
    • Published in 1822, this pamphlet was a strong critique of the denial of women's rights in contemporary Hindu society.
    • Roy argued that ancient Hindu texts actually granted greater freedom and rights to women, and that modern Hindu practices (especially regarding sati, inheritance, and education) were deviations from true Vedic tradition.
    • He used scriptural references to support women's rights — a hallmark of his reform strategy.
    • Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar: Advocated widow remarriage but did not write this book.
    • Vivekananda: Later spiritual leader who promoted women's education, but this book predates his time.
    • Dayananda Saraswati: Wrote Satyarth Prakash; supported women’s rights but not the author of this title.
