During the Viceroyalty of William Bentinck, there was much excitement and benevolent efforts towards social reforms. The true reformer, Raja Rammohan Roy, came forward to eradicate social evils in our society. The practices of Sati, infanticide, widow-remarriage, propagation of education etc. were seriously taken up by him. Undoubtedly the theme is well-knit giving necessary details of social problems and the efforts for their solution. One could say with confidence that Raja Rammohan Roy succeeded in many ways. The book would be useful for teachers and students in India and abroad.
