Raja Rammohan Roy

Explanation:

Brahmo Samaj was founded by Raja Rammohan Roy in 1828. Raja Rammohan Roy was a prominent social and religious reformer in 19th-century India. The primary objective of Brahmo Samaj was to promote monotheism based on the principles of reason and to reject idolatry and various social evils prevalent at that time. The movement advocated for social and religious reforms, education, and the spread of rationalism. Raja Rammohan Roy's efforts laid the foundation for the broader social and religious reform movements that emerged in India during the 19th century.
