Which of the following was NOT a principle of the Brahmo Samaj, established by Raja Ram Mohan Roy?

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) Establishing Hinduism.
Explanation:
Brahmo Samaj aimed to reform religion by promoting monotheism and rational worship, not to "establish" Hinduism as a rigid organised creed.
It emphasised individual freedom of conscience and opposed blind ritualism and caste inequalities.
Democratisation of social institutions and national unity through universalist ideas were central concerns.
The movement focused on ethical living, social reform and universal brotherhood.
Therefore, "establishing Hinduism" as a separate goal does not fit its reformist and universal outlook.

Raja Ram Mohan Roy also campaigned against practices like sati and child marriage.
Brahmo Samaj influenced later reformers and movements, including the Young Bengal and Prarthana Samaj.
