Solution

The correct option is A 1 only
Explanation: Raja Rammohan Roy founded the Brahmo Sabha in August 1828; it was later renamed Brahmo Samaj. Through the Sabha, he wanted to institutionalise his ideas and mission.

Statement 1 is correct: Brahmo Samaj denounced polytheism and idol worship; it discarded faith in divine avatars (incarnations); it denied that any scripture could enjoy the status of ultimate authority transcending human reason and conscience.

Statement 2 is incorrect: Brahmo Samaj took no definite stand on the doctrine of karma and transmigration of soul and left it to individual Brahmos to believe either way.
