Swami Dayanand Saraswati was more than a religious leader of India who left deep impact on the Indian society. He founded the Arya Samaj that brought about changes in the religious perception of Indians. He voiced his opinions against idolatry and the pointless emphasis on empty ritualism, and man-made dictates that women are not allowed to read the Vedas. His idea of denouncing the caste system inherited by oneself in lieu of their birth was nothing short of radical.

This documentary delves into the last few weeks of RamMohun Roy's life in England. The "pilgrimage" is almost as much the story of the West's encounter with the man widely regarded as the "Father of Modern India" as it is reappraisal of RamMohun's impact on the West. Hitherto unknown or long forgotten details, that have been pieced together to reconstruct the final chapter of the Rajah's life, will fascinate the general viewer and have RamMohun-scholars reaching bringing out their notepads.
'In Search of the Rajah' tries to resurrect through an investigative and introspective lens- the figure of Raja Rammohan Roy, a key figure in the Bengal renaissance and a man who tried to formulate a manifesto of political equalisation within the colonial backdrop. His manifesto comprised of propagating the right of widows to remarry, their right to property and women's right to education as means to their empowerment. Successfully synthesising the ideals of rationality and universal brotherhood of the Enlightenment Project with the cultural traditions of Bengal, Raja Rammohan Roy's ideas helped to give shape to many initiatives, practices and also a religion that put faith on secular, rational ideals and was atheist to its core. The Indian State continues to strive for this egalitarian system of social order that Raja Rammohan Roy propagated.
