पुढील वाक्यात खाली दिलेल्या कोणाचे वर्णन केले आहे ? स्कॉटीश मिशन शाळेत असताना मानव सर्वत्र समान असतो, हे तत्व शिकले होते. ख्रिश्चन मिशनऱ्यांच्या प्रभावामुळे त्यांना शिक्षणाचे, सामाजिक सुधारणांचे आणि जागतिक मानवतावादाचे महत्त्व कळले. त्यांनी विधवा पुर्नविवाहाला उघड-उघड पाठिंबा दिला आणि स्त्री भ्रूण हत्येच्या प्रथेला विरोध केला. Who is the person described in the following sentences ? He had learnt the principle of universal equality of man while at the Scottish Mission School. Under the influence of the Christian missionaries he realized the importance of education, social reforms and universal humanism. He openly supported widow remarriage and attacked the practice of female infanticide.
