Raja Ram Mohan Roy, the pioneer of the Renaissance, is
one of the most memorable Bengali and Indian thinkers of all time. When in the
eighteenth century, India and Bengal's whole society was around by
Superstition, Poverty, Harassment-neglect-oppression of women, the breakdown of
Indian education then Ram Mohan Roy appeared. As India had been ruled by Muslim
rules for a long time, the social status and rights of women along with
education have come to a standstill. We do not see any exceptions during the
rule of the East India Company, although the colonial rulers organized some
education to facilitate their rule and trade, there were many dilemmas. The
social system was divided into different religions, castes, and races, and the
caste system was shrouded in untouchability. The high and low caste system had
an impact on women's lives and education as well. This paper seeks to show that
Ram Mohan Roy stood at the time and played a positive role in breaking the
barrier of prejudice of the conservative society and building a modern society.
On the other hand, he was able to bring about a groundbreaking change in the
protection of women's lives and rights and the field of education in India.
This paper is conducted to show the relevance of Ram Mohan Roy's contributions
to society, women's rights, and education in the 21st century.
