The Biography of Raja Ram Mohan Roy is the brief life sketch of the great social reformer who is also known as the Maker of Modern India.
Raja Ram Mohan Roy is regarded as one of the most important figures in the Bengal Renaissance. He engendered the Brahmo Samaj, an influential Indian socio-religious reform movement.
His remarkable influence was apparent in the field of politics, public administration and education as well as religion. He is best known for his efforts to abolish the practice of ‘Sati’ in India which was the practice in which the widow was compelled to sacrifice herself on her dead husband’s funeral pyre.
The inside pages consist of an enlightening account of the life of this great son of India who was born perhaps in the darkest age in Modern Indian history but brought light to millions of Indians who were living in the utter darkness of socio-religious bondages and backwardness.
