Question

I was born in Calcutta in 1828. I was integral to the social reform movement in the 19th century. My main goal was to generate a sense of unity in Indian society. I discarded many Hindu rituals, and condemned caste-based discrimination. I owe my life to Raja Rammohun Roy.

Solution

The correct option is C Brahma Samaj
The Brahma/Brahmo Samaj was established in 1828 by Raja Rammohun Roy as a socio-religious reform organisation. The society condemns many Hindu rituals, and denounces the caste system. Many reform organisations came up after this, including the Arya Samaj, founded by Dayanand Saraswati, and the Prarthana Samaj, which was established by Atmaram Pandurang.
