Which amongst the following statements about the Indian social reformers of the 19th century is INCORRECT?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar was the founder of the Brahmo Samaj.
The statement "Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar was the founder of the Brahmo Samaj" is incorrect. The Brahmo Samaj was founded by Raja Ram Mohan Roy in 1828. Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, a prominent social reformer, was a key figure in the reformist movement, advocating for women's education, the abolition of Sati, and social equality. While Vidyasagar supported many of the Brahmo Samaj's values, he was not its founder. Instead, he worked towards social reforms, particularly in the areas of education and women's rights.
