February 2019[edit]

Hello, I'm Girth Summit. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Bengali renaissance, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Hi Grith Summit,

                            I am a bit confused by your comment on my edit on Bengal Renaissance because when I open the page i can see the additions I made, intact.

But the modernization and efflorescence of Bengali culture was catalyzed by its contact with Western culture after the establishment of British rule in Bengal in 1857. Bengalis were the first people in Asia to interact with Western culture, in modern period, in a deep and significant enough way to produce results of permanent interest for the world.

Nearly all the leading figures in various fields in India and even in whole Asia were Bengalis. Reformation of religion, society and education started with Rammohan Roy in India. The first great moderns in various fields in Asia- Novelist (Bankimchandra Chatterjee), poet (Rabindranath Tagore), painter (Rabindranath, Gaganendranath and Abanindranath Tagore along with Japanese Taikan), sculptor (Ramkinkar Baij),philosopher (Krishnachandra Bhattacharya) and scientist (Jagadish Chandra Bose) were from Bengal. Uike the Italian Renaissance, it intended and managed to impact a very large area of society. Though almost all its leaders and exponents came from the middle class,many of them were in sympathy with socialism. Hi Grith Summit,

                            I am a bit confused by your comment on my edit on Bengal Renaissance because when I open the page i can see the additions I made, intact. They are not removed as you said.

I quote below the the additions I made and my thoughts on their source and reliability.

"But the modernization and efflorescence of Bengali culture was catalyzed by its contact with Western culture after the establishment of British rule in Bengal in 1857.(The best known general introduction NOTES ON BENGAL RENAISSANCE by SUSOVAN SARCAR)1 Bengalis were the first people in Asia to interact with Western culture, in modern period, in a deep and significant enough way to produce results of permanent interest for the world." (EUROPE RECONSIDERED By TAPAN ROYCHOUDHURY)2

"Nearly all the leading figures in various fields in India and even in whole Asia were Bengalis. Reformation of religion, society and education started with Rammohan Roy in India. The first great moderns in various fields in Asia- Novelist (Bankimchandra Chatterjee), poet (Rabindranath Tagore), painter (Rabindranath, Gaganendranath and Abanindranath Tagore along with Japanese Taikan), sculptor (Ramkinkar Baij),philosopher (Krishnachandra Bhattacharya) and scientist (Jagadish Chandra Bose) were from Bengal." 3

"Unlike the Italian Renaissance, it intended and managed to impact a very large area of society. Though almost all its leaders and exponents came from the middle class,many of them were in sympathy with socialism."4 source same as 1 If the source is the most established introductory book(as in paragraph 1,4) is it even necessary to refer to it? I think paragraph 2,3 is established by Wikipedia articles on the individuals mentioned. For instance - that Tagore is the first Asian Nobel Laureate for literature is mentioned in the Wikipedia article on him and proves my paragraph 2. That J.C.Bose is the first great scientist of modern Asia is established by the Wikipedia article on him. Please clarify the situation and whether my thoughts on reliable source satisfy you or not and the reasons, if you are dissatisfied.
