Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is  option 1  i.e. Debendranath Tagore.

The Brahmo Covenant, a formal statement of the creed of the Brahmo Samaj, was written by Debendranath Tagore. He was a key leader of the Brahmo Samaj after Raja Ram Mohan Roy and played a major role in shaping its philosophical and religious principles. The Brahmo Covenant emphasized monotheism, rejection of idol worship, and ethical living. While Raja Ram Mohan Roy founded the Brahmo Samaj, it was Debendranath Tagore who systematized its beliefs through this covenant. 

Incorrect Options:

  1. Raja Ram Mohan Roy – Founder of the Brahmo Samaj in 1828, but the Brahmo Covenant was written later by Debendranath.

  2. Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar – Known for social reforms like widow remarriage and women’s education, but not associated with writing the Brahmo Covenant.

  3. Keshab Chandra Sen – A later leader of the Brahmo Samaj who introduced more progressive and radical ideas, but he did not write the original Brahmo Covenant.
