Raja Ram Mohan Roy was the key social reformer who campaigned against the practice of Sati (widow immolation). His relentless efforts and advocacy led Lord William Bentinck to pass the Sati Regulation Act of 1829, which officially banned this custom in British India. He is often called the father of modern India for his progressive reforms.
