Abstract
Liberalism is one of the dominant political ideologies in the Nineteenth Century in Europe and today globally. Locke, Bentham, Mill, and all other liberalists seek to establish individual liberty and rights of the individuals. These are the core political values of liberalism. However, in the history of Indian political thought, Raja Rammohan Roy was a social reformer, the father of India’s Renaissance, the inaugurator of Modern India, and the ‘prophet of humanity’, had provided his liberal political views and argued it was the best ideology for the development and progress of India and its societies. He also speaks for individual liberty, freedom of the nations, rights of the individuals and their education, faith in democracy and constitutionalism, international coexistence, liberal perception of law and legislation, etc. All these made him a truly liberal thinker in India.
