The socio-economic and cultural life of India had received a new impetus under the influence of Western education especially in the field of art and science in the later part of the nineteenth century. This was the result of the introduction of Western education in India, with English as the medium of instruction in the educational institutions. The advent of the British rule and introduction of liberal English education in India produced a revolutionary change due to which modern outlook and ideas were evolved. These modem ideas not only introduced new institutions in Indian society such as liberation, education, newspaper, social welfare mission etc. but also brought a fundamental change. This fundamental change brought a revolutionary transformation. This revolutionary transformation from conservatism was known as the Indian Renaissance.
