raja ram mohan roy , was an Indian religious, social, and educational reformer who challenged traditinal Hindu culture and indicated the lines of progress for Indian society under British rule.

His family background displayed religious diversity; his father Ramkanta Roy was a Vaishnavite, while his mother Tarinidevi was from a Shivaite family. This was unusual for Vaishanavites did not commonly marry Shaivites at that time. Thus, one parent wanted him to be a scholar, a sastrin, while the other wanted him to have a career dedicated to the laukik, which was secular public administration

Also ,he developed number of colleges for vedas and study of modern science and he was also a good journalist.
