Answer:

C. Keshav Chandra Sen

Read Explanation:

  • The founder of ‘Brahmo Samaj of India’ was Keshav Chandra Sen.

  • Devendra Nath stripped the title of ‘Acharya’ from Keshav Chandra in 1865.

  • Hence Keshav Chandra Sen came out from original Brahmo Samaj and group under the influence of Devendra Nath Tagore called themselves as ‘Adi Brahmo Samaj.’

  • The group under the leadership of Keshav Chandra Sen called themselves as ‘Bhartiya Brahmo Samaj’ or ‘Neo Brahmo Samaj.’

  • Again in 1878, ‘ Navin Brahmo Samaj’ was further divided when Keshav Chandra Sen got his 13 year-old daughter married with the king of Kooch, Bihar.

  • To oppose his action, Anand Mohan Bose and Shivnath Shastri formed ‘Sadharan Brahmo Samaj.’
