Description:Raja Rammohun Roy (1774—1833) was a great champion of liberty and civil rights in colonial India. He was also a true cosmopolitan who envisioned a world without borders.

By the time of his death in Bristol, he was as much resented as respected, both at home and abroad.Using relatively unexplored sources, this elegant and accessible new biography by Amiya P.
