If someone wants to write an article named "Hindu Renaissance", please do it seperately. Young Bengal or Michael Madhusudan Dutt can hardly be part of a "Hindu" renaissance, though they have seminal contribution to the awkening of Bengal.-- ppm 05:32, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
Since it is difficult to talk about the Bengal Renaissance without discussing the Brahmo Samaj, it might make a stronger article for both if the pages were merged. - Classicfilms 17:21, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
Not necessarily, Brahmo Samaj and Bengal Renaissance are different social movements, although they occasionally overlap. Religious revival in Hinduism through Ramakrishna Mission, or through Christian learning in Bengal as well as ushering a spirit of intellectual enquiry and flowering of architecture and literature may not be necessarily linked to the Brahmo Samaj, but they constitute part of the Bengal Renaissance. It is best that they remain separate articles. LordGulliverofGalben
We have a larger issue in our hand...what is a reasonable duration of the Renaissance in Bengal? 19th century? Till the death of Tagore? -- ppm 01:39, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
These three quotes offer different perspectives on the time periods of the Renaissance and the literature that was produced:
1. Chaudhuri, Amit.(ed.) “The Vintage Book of Modern Indian Literature.” New York: Random, 2004.
2. Dutta, Krishna and Andrew Robinson. “ Rabindranath Tagore: An Anthology. London: Picador, 1997.
3. Guha, Sreejata. “Introduction” to “ Devdas” by Saratchandra Chattopadhyay. New Delhi: Penguin Books, 2002.

While early Tagore might be considered to feature at the tail end of the BR, I think its patently absurd that the five people mentioned above be considered part of it. Unless someone can cite major published work within 48 hours that specifically locates these individuals as part of the same flourishing that gave us Madhusudhan and Derozio, I will remove them.

( Raja Ram Mohan Roy - Rabindranath Tagore) [3]. Earlier falls under Bhakti most probably and later falls under Bangladesh and West Bengal respectively. Bakaman Bakatalk 23:39, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
I'm a little busy to update. Here's some reading material. [4], [5], [6], [7]. Bakaman Bakatalk 00:35, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
If their works were published between (1790's- 1947) then they are renaissance (with exception KAzi NAsrul Islam and a few others). Nirad Chaudhuri really only got started in the 50's making him too late. Bakaman Bakatalk 07:12, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
I think Nirad Chaudhuri is culturally, very much a part of the Bengal Renaissance. His works capture the spirit of that age very succinctly.

The pro-colonial stand that the leaders of Bengal renaissance took had been questioned by number of ,mostly marxist,intelectuals,prominent among them is Binoy Ghosh.The criticism that the Bengal renaissance brought only a fractured modernity in Indian context must also have in included in the article. Dwaipayan jn ( talk) 16:44, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
The article is so pathetically limited to 19th century upper Hindu class folk. What about Kazi Nazrul Islam, Begum Rokeya, Muhammad Shahidullah, Zainul Abedin and other Bengali Muslim pioneers ? And many scholars argue the renaissance continued well into the 20th century, with the emergence of the Bengali Muslim middle class and rise of Bengali cultural nationalism between in the 50s and 60s.-- ArmanJ ( talk) 10:41, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

Bengali Renaissance → Bengal Renaissance – By far more common name in sources, and is consistently capitalized unlike the current title. See books n-grams. Dicklyon ( talk) 05:30, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
