The reformers wanted to reform people by encouraging the people to discard unjust practices and rituals which were prevalent in the society. Reformers believed that if they take the help of the ancient religious texts to support their point of view, their ideas will get a kind of sanctity. Thus, whenever the reformers wished to challenge a practice, they tried to find a verse from the religious texts which supported their ideas. Raja Ram Mohan Roy used ancient texts to show that the practice of sati never had any sanction.
