Raja Ram Mohan Roy, known as the “Father of Modern India’s Renaissance,” worked tirelessly for social change. He is credited with bringing about a new era of enlightenment and liberal development in India. Because of the significant contributions he made to India’s development in the 18th and 19th centuries, he is usually referred to as the “father of modern Indian renaissance”. These advancements enhance Indian culture in every way. However, few people in Raja Ram Mohan Roy’s era were fully aware of the new age’s importance.

His goal was to fully reawaken the Indians to their individual cultural identities and to help them better understand the realities that were unique to their respective civilizations in the spirit of sympathetic cooperation. In this article, we discuss and explore Raja Ram Mohan Roy’s remarkable life and the contributions he made to society.
