What are counter movements?
  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 5 years, 5 months ago

  • Counter movements sometimes arise in defence of status quo. There are many instances of counter movements.
  • When Raja Rammohun Roy campaigned against sati and formed the Brahmo Samaj, defenders of sati formed Dharma Sabha and petitioned the British not to legislate against sati.
  • When reformers demanded education for girls, many protested that this would be disastrous for society.
  • When reformers campaigned for widow remarriage, they were socially boycotted. When the so called ‘lower caste’ children enrolled in schools, some so called ‘upper caste’ children were withdrawn from the schools by their families.
  • Proposals for extending reservation in educational institutions have led to counter movements opposing them.
