Among his efforts, the aboliti on of the Sati pratha -a practice in which the widow was compelled to sacrifice herself on the funeral pyre of her husband-was prominent. His efforts were also instrumental in eradicating the Purdah system and child marriage. In 1828, Ram Mohan Roy formed the Brahmo Samaj, a group of people, who had to faith in idol worship and were against the caste restrictions.
Raja Ram Mohan Roy’s father was a wealthy Brahmin and strictly perfomed the duties set by the religion. Ram Mohan himself was also devoted to Lord Vishnu and in his 14th year, he wanted to be come a monk but his mother, Tarini Devi objected to his desire.
Ram Mohan viewed education as a medium to implement the social reforms. So, in 1815, Ram M0han came to Calcutta and the very next year, stated an English College by putting in his own savings. He was well aware that the students should learn the English language and scientific subjects and that’s why he criticised the government’s policy of opening only Sanskrit schools.

The government accepted this idea of Ram Mohan and also implemented it but not before his death.
