Rammohan Roy Collection
1 Entries foundAlong with David Hare, Edward Hyde East and Buddinath Mukherjee, Rammohan Roy (1772 – 1833) is regarded as one of the founding figures of Hindoo College (now Presidency University). He was a social and religious reformer. In 1828 he founded the Brahmo Sabha which was the precursor of the BrahmoSamaj. The enactment of the Bengal Sati Regulation, 1829, by Governor General William Bentinck, which declared the practice of burning or burying alive of Hindu widows to be punishable by the criminal courts, was owing to his efforts. He supported the induction of Western learning into Indian education. In this collection, we have books and articles that explore his role in the making of the Hindoo College.
