The Rahnumai Mazdayasna Sabha, also known as the Religious Reform Association, was established in 1851 in Bombay to modernize the Parsi community. The movement aimed to restore the purity of the Zoroastrian religion by removing superstitious practices and advocating for the upliftment of women's status.
The mid-19th century in India was a period of intense socio-religious reform movements, often termed the Indian Renaissance, occurring concurrently with the establishment of the Brahmo Samaj and the Singh Sabha movement.
The Sabha was founded by prominent reformers including Dadabhai Naoroji, Naoroji Furdonji, J.B. Wacha, and S.S. Bengalee.
The movement utilized the journal Rast Goftar (Truth Teller), started in 1851, as its primary vehicle for spreading reformist ideas.
It focused on social issues such as early marriage, female education, and the simplification of religious rituals.
Dadabhai Naoroji, the Grand Old Man of India, was a central figure in this movement, linking social reform with political awareness.
The Sabha countered the conservative Parsi orthodoxy which resisted changes to traditional practices.
Option A (1841) does not correspond to a major Parsi reform milestone; Option B (1849) saw the birth of the Paramahansa Mandali; Option C (1855) is near the timing of the first rail line in India.
D is correct тАФ The Rahnumai Mazdayasna Sabha was founded in 1851 to promote the social and religious reformation of the Parsi community.
When studying reform movements, group them by decade: 1820s (Brahmo Samaj), 1850s (Rahnumai Mazdayasna Sabha), 1860s (Prarthana Samaj), and 1870s (Arya Samaj) for better chronological retention in exams.
