By far, the greatest achievement of Raja Ram Mohan Roy as a social reformer was the abolition of ‘Sati’, Child Marriage and “Pardah”. It was due to the untiring efforts of Raja Ram Mohan Roy, involving considerable personal risks, that the then Governor General of India, Lord William Bentinck abolished the practice of ‘Sati’ in 1829.

Raja Ram Mohan Roy has been rightly called the ‘Father of Indian Renaissance’ or the ‘Father of Indian Nationalism’. He died on 27th September 1833, in England.
