Question

Accepted Answer

The correct option is 3:
Debendra Nath Tagore founded the 'Tattvabodhini Sabha' (Truth-seekers' Society) on October 6, 1839, in Calcutta. This society was established primarily to propagate the principles of the Brahmo Samaj, particularly those related to a rational and monotheistic form of Hinduism based on the Vedanta and Upanishads, and to promote Ram Mohan Roy's creed after his death. Tagore aimed to explore the truths inherent in Indian scriptures, opposing the social evils and superstitions prevalent at the time. Under his leadership, the Sabha also published the influential journal, the 'Tattwabodhini Patrika', which played a significant role in the Bengal Renaissance by advancing knowledge and reformist ideas.

The incorrect option is 1: Rammohan Roy (Raja Ram Mohan Roy) was the founder of the Brahmo Samaj in 1828, which deeply influenced the Tattvabodhini Sabha, but he was not its founder. Roy passed away in 1833, before the Sabha was established by Tagore to continue and formalize his religious ideas.
The incorrect option is 2: Keshab Chandra Sen was a prominent leader of the Brahmo Samaj who joined later, but he did not found the Tattvabodhini Sabha. He eventually caused a schism in the Brahmo Samaj after he joined it.
The incorrect option is 4: Atmaram Pandurang was a key figure in the reform movements in Western India, notably founding the Prarthana Samaj in Bombay in 1867, which shared similar goals with the Brahmo Samaj, but he was not the founder of the Tattvabodhini Sabha.
