The correct answer is option 3, Raja Ram Mohan Roy, who is known as the `Father of Indian Renaissance`. Raja Ram Mohan Roy was a social reformer, philosopher, and founder of the Brahmo Samaj, a socio-religious reform movement in India during the early 19th century. He played a significant role in challenging the orthodox practices prevalent in Indian society at that time. Raja Ram Mohan Roy advocated for the abolition of sati (the practice of widows self-immolating on their husband`s funeral pyre), promoted education and women`s rights, fought against caste discrimination, and championed the cause of religious tolerance. His contributions laid the foundation for social reforms and intellectual awakening in India, earning him the title of the `Father of Indian Renaissance`.
