Manmohan Ghosh was an extraordinary orator. In course of his later visits to England, he gave valuable speeches about the Indian political scene.

A man of a liberal outlook, Manmohan supported women's education, even sending his wife, Swarnalata, to Loretto Convent. At a symposium organised by the progressive Brahmos in 1872, he argued in support of the need for women's education. In 1873 he was chosen secretary of Bethune School in Kolkata and became a patron of the Hindu Mahila Vidyalay. In 1876 he established the Banga Mahila Vidyalay.

Manmohan Ghosh also wrote on political and social issues. In 1860 he wrote an article in the hindu patriot protesting against the oppression of indigo farmers.

He opposed child marriage and, in 1891, supported the bill requiring consent in marriage. [Sambaru Chandra Mohanta]
