Who among the following founded the Atmiya Sabha in 1814?

Question

Accepted Answer

Step 1: Atmiya Sabha was an early 19th-century socio-religious reform association founded in Calcutta to promote monotheism and to oppose idolatry and ritualism.

Step 2: The Sabha was established by Raja Rammohun Roy (often dated 1814–1815), who is well known for founding several reformist bodies and initiating the Brahmo movement.

Step 3: Why other options are incorrect:
- Keshab Chandra Sen: A later 19th-century reformer and leader within the Brahmo Samaj, not the founder of Atmiya Sabha.
- Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar: A contemporary social reformer (education, widow remarriage) but not the founder of Atmiya Sabha.
- Debendranath Tagore: Later leader of the Brahmo Samaj and associated with Tattwabodhini Sabha, not the founder of Atmiya Sabha.

Therefore the founder of Atmiya Sabha in 1814 is Raja Rammohun Roy.
