Google Pays Tribute To Raja Ram Mohan Roy With Interesting Doodle

Internet search giant Google on Tuesday dedicated its doodle to Raja Ram Mohan Roy on his 246th birth anniversary.

Raja Ram Mohan Roy was born into a Bengali Brahmin family in West Bengal on May 22, 1772 to Ramakanto Roy and Tarini Devi.

Roy was a founder of the Brahma Sabha in 1828, an influential social-religious reform movement. The Brahma Samaj played a major role in reforming and modernizing the Indian society.

'Father of Modern India', Roy fought to abolish the practice of Sati. He was also known as the Father of the Indian Renaissance and established a number of schools to popularise a modern education system in India.

The Google doodle celebrating Roy has been designed and created by Beena Mistry, a UX Designer, and Illustrator based out of Toronto, Canada.
