Raja Ram Mohan Roy is one of the great reformers of India who challenged unethical practices Hindu society and culture and fought for women's rights and for an end to the practice of ‘sati.’ He died in 1833 while visiting Bristol in Britain. A tomb was raised here his memory.
Raja Ram Mohan Roy’s tomb at Arnos Vale in Bristol had fallen into disrepair. The tomb, an architectural gem, was recently restored and opened to public.
The restoration of the tomb was made possible by a donation last year of more than £50,000 from Aditya Poddar, a Kolkata Businessman.
In 1997, a statue of Raja Ram Mohan Roy was placed on College Green in Bristol.

Ram Mohan Roy was no reformer. He was Indian pawn of the British who espoused anti-Hindu sentiments, sometimes anonymously. An example of this is his "Tract Against Idolatry" published in the 1800s. I don't think this blog is an appropriate place for glorification of this man.
