Correct answer: B
English Raja Ram Mohan Roy (1772–1833), often regarded as the "Father of the Indian Renaissance," was the most influential figure advocating for the synthesis of traditional Indian learning with modern Western education. He strongly believed that Western scientific and rational knowledge was essential for eradicating social evils and modernizing India. His efforts led to the establishment of institutions that promoted modern, English-medium education.
