The Tattvabodhini Sabha is a foundational element of the Bengal Renaissance, a socio-religious movement that paralleled the growth of Indian nationalism during the British colonial era.
Established on October 6, 1839, in Calcutta by Debendranath Tagore.
The Sabha published the Tattvabodhini Patrika, which played a crucial role in spreading modern ideas and Indian heritage.
It aimed to synthesize the monotheism of the Upanishads with modern scientific and rationalist discourse.
Debendranath Tagore was the father of Rabindranath Tagore and a key leader of the Brahmo Samaj.
The Sabha was initially called the Tattvaranjini Sabha before being renamed.
Raja Ram Mohan Roy (Option B) founded the Atmiya Sabha in 1815 and the Brahmo Sabha in 1828, pre-dating the Tattvabodhini Sabha.
Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar (Option C) was a renowned educator and reformer known primarily for his contributions to widow remarriage and female education.
A is correct тАФ Debendranath Tagore founded the Tattvabodhini Sabha in 1839 to promote religious and social reform based on rational inquiry.
Always distinguish between the Brahmo Sabha (Ram Mohan Roy, 1828), the Tattvabodhini Sabha (Debendranath Tagore, 1839), and the Sadharan Brahmo Samaj (Ananda Mohan Bose, 1878) to avoid confusion in chronological order questions.
