Option 3 : Point out a verse or sentence in the ancient sacred texts that supported their point of view.
Point out a verse or sentence in the ancient sacred texts that supported their point of view is the practice used by Nineteenth century reformers to challenge a harmful practice that existed in the society.
- Ram Mohan Roy was well versed in Sanskrit, Persian and several other Indian and European languages.
- He tried to show through his writings that the practice of widow burning had no sanction in ancient texts.
- The strategy adopted by Ram Mohan Roy was used by later reformers as well in the Nineteenth century.
- Whenever they wished to challenge a practice that seemed harmful, they tried to find a verse or sentence in the ancient sacred texts that supported their point of view.
- They then suggested that the practice, as it existed at present, was against early tradition.
-
Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar used the ancient texts to suggest that widows could remarry.
Hence, the correct answer is - Point out a verse or sentence in the ancient sacred texts that supported their point of view.
