A person who is concerned about the humanity and mankind above anything else; a person who wants to change the existing state of things for the better; a person who has an enlightened thought process; a person who cannot stand the sufferings of the weaker section of people; and above all a person who believes in the duty bestowed upon him to leave the earth behind him as a better place than it was. In fact a social reformer is an ordinary human being who wants to serve the cause of humanity in extraordinary ways.

His main focus was towards the evils which had surrounded the Hindu society of the times, such as:

He criticized idol worship of Hindus and tried to prove his point through the verses of Vedas.

But the main contribution for which Raja Ram Mohan Roy is still remembered was his relentless efforts in abolishing the practice of Sati Pratha.
