“Abolition of Sati: Raja Ram Mohan Roy's Role in Women's Rights in Colonial India” Abstract This research paper examines the pivotal role of Raja Ram Mohan Roy in the abolition of Sati and his broader contributions to women's rights in colonial India. Through historical analysis and examination of primary and secondary sources, this study explores how Roy's progressive ideology, rooted in both rational thought and Hindu scriptures, challenged entrenched patriarchal practices. The paper analyzes Roy's strategic approach to social reform, his collaboration with British colonial authorities, and the lasting impact of his advocacy on women's rights in India. The research demonstrates that Roy's multifaceted campaign against Sati represented a watershed moment in Indian social reform, establishing precedents for future women's rights movements while navigating the complex dynamics of colonial power structures.
