He is sometimes called the father of modern India.
He was born into a rich family of Brahmin class (varna) in British-ruled Bengal. Little is aware of his early life and education, but has developed unconventional religious ideas at an early age. As a youth, he traveled widely outside Bengal and mastered several languages ​​— Sanskrit, Persian, Arabic and English — apart from his native Bengali and Hindi.
Roy supported himself by managing his small estate and betting on the British East India Company bonds. In 1805 he was appointed by John Digby, an officer of a lesser company who introduced him to Western culture and literature. For the next 10 years, Roy went out and in service of the British East India Company as an assistant to Digby.
Roy continued religious studies during that period. In 1803 he created a tract stating what he believed to be India's superstition and its religious division within Hinduism and between Hinduism and other religions. As a remedy for those people, he advocated a monotheistic Hinduism, which led to the adherence to "the absolute original promoter which is the first principle of all religions". He sought a philosophical foundation for translating those ancient Sanskrit texts to his religious beliefs in the Vedas (sacred texts of Hinduism) and the Upanishads. Writing summaries and texts in and on Bengali, Hindi and English. The central theme of those texts, for Roy, was the worship of the Supreme God who is beyond human knowledge and who supports the universe. In appreciation of his translations, the French Societe Asiatic in 1824 selected him for honorary membership.
