RAJA RAM MOHAN ROY

Founder of Brahma Samaj
Raja Ram Mohan Roy was a zealous Social reformer holding modern and progressive views. He was

born in 1772, in a prosperous and orthodox Brahmin family at

Hoogly in West Bengal.

He stood firmly against all sort of social bigotry, conservatism

and superstitions and advocated English and western

education for his countrymen. Raja Ram Mohan Roy was a

great scholar too. He made a wide study of different religions

of the world including Christianity and Islam. He also knew

many languages like English, Persian, Arabic, Latin, French

and Hebrew. He was also a great scholar of Bangla and

translated Vedas and Upnishads into Bengali.

He was honoured the title 'Raja' by the Moghul Emperor. Raja Ram Mohan Roy believed in the

fundamental unity of all religions. In 1814, he founded, 'Atmiya Samaj' and in 1828, the 'Brahma

Samaj'. Through these organisations he wanted to expose the religious hypocrisies and to check the

growing influence of Christianity on the Hindu society.

By far, the greatest achievement of Raja Ram Mohan Roy as a social reformer was the abolition of

'Sati' in 1829, child marriage and 'Pardha'. He was been rightly called the 'Father of Indian

Nationalism'. He died on 27th September 1833, in England.

01000011P/F0001100
Answers
False, Binary Division or Modulo 2 division.
False, Remainder.
False, Forward Error correction.
Hamming Distance.
Code Word: The bigger block containing redundant bits.(Data word+ Redundant bits)

Data Word: Block of data bits to which redundant bits are added.
Hamming Distance: The number of disagreements between two code words.
Weight : The number of 1s in a code word.

6. Content Error: Error in the content of a block of data. It can be bit error or burst error.
Bit error is common in parallel transmission and burst error depends on data rate and
noise duration.
Flow Integrity Error: Missing block of data due to reasons like delivery to a wrong
destination.

7. Parity Check : In parity check, at the sending end, a single redundant bit is added by
counting the number of 1s in the data word, to make the parity either odd or even
including the parity bit and at the receiver, the checking function detects the parity bit
accordingly and finds out errors if any.
CRC;Cyclic redundancy check : In CRC, for each protocol there is a pre-defined divisor in
the form of a polynomial. The data to be sent is divided into manageable blocks and each
block is divided by the pre-defined divisor. The remainder is appended to the data block
and sent. At the receiver when the incoming codeword is divided by the same divisor, if no
remainder is got, it is assumed that there is no error. CRC bits(Remainder) will be always
one bit less than the divisor. Using XOR gate and Shift registers the circuit is implemented
so that the division performed is Modulo 2. (shifting right, comparing)
Checksum: This is an error detection mechanism employed by upper layers. Here the
data word is arranged in the form of a matrix, each row containing n bits and modulo 2
addition is performed so that the sum is also having n bits (Ignoring the carry) . The sum is
then complemented. This is the checksum field. This is appended to the data unit and
sent. At the receiver, again the data after arranging in the form of a matrix,(including
checksum bits) modulo 2 addition is performed. If the sum is all 1s, it is assumed that data
is intact.

a. A Transponder is a device that adapts to the arbitrary bit rate of the incoming optical
signal and maps its wavelength to the chosen WDM channel. Its main function is OEO. It
converts wavelength coming from user equipment to electrical signal and then the
electrical signal is converted into optical signal of a specific wavelength, which forms an
optical channel for particular user.
