Most defend #RajaRamMohanRoy saying Bengal was just liberated from Mughals due to British & not Hindus, therefore RRM thought Hindus as Inferior & he wanted Hindus to be Powerful like that of Bristish & hence propagated British ideology.
I would have agreed for this

but RRM Roy knew the history of Marathas & how they triumphed over Mughals, so with whatever reasoning these RRMRoy friend’s tries to justify his actions, it falls flat.

British did propaganda that how #RajaRamMohanRoy was fighting against bad practice of Sati– it hardly existed in Bengal
Sati was not a heinous practice, it was a concept of "Death before Dishonor"
Hindu women did Sati & made sure a muslim invader cannot rape her dead body

Britishers want to show India use to follow such bad practices & hide "Witch Hunting" followed in west
In 1893, Matilda Joslyn Gage in her book, "Woman, Church & State", outlines a history of oppression of women by Church, citing as evidence the burning of accused witches
