Monologue on Swami Shraddhanand
Dear,
Born on February 22, 1856 at village Talwan in Jalandhar district in Punjab province. He was the youngest child in the family of Lala Nanak Chand, who was a Police Inspectorin the Uttar Pradesh. His given name was Brihaspati Vij, but later he was called Munshi Ram Vij by his father, a name that stayed with him till he took sanyas (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanyas) in 1917, variously as Lala Munshi Ram Vij and Mahatma Munshi Ram.
In the early 1880s, he came into contact with Swami Dayanand, the founder of the Arya Samaj. He wrote a book called “ Hindu Sangathan ”. He called untouchability a “curse” and a “blot” on the reputations of the Hindus.
