Which of the statements given above is/are correct?CorrectAnswer: B
• A group of westerners led by Madame H.P. Blavatsky and Colonel M.S. Olcott, who were inspired by
Indian thought and culture, founded the Theosophical Society in New York City, United States in 1875.
In 1882, they shifted their headquarters to Adyar, on the outskirts of Madras (at that time) in India. The
Society accepted the Hindu beliefs in reincarnation and karma, and drew inspiration from the
philosophy of the Upanishads and samkhya, yoga and Vedanta schools of thought. Hence statement 1 is
not correct.
• In 1890, when an eleven-year-old Phulamani Bai died while having sexual intercourse with her much
older husband, the Parsi social reformer Behramji Malabari supported the Age of Consent Act,
1891 to raise the age of a girl’s eligibility for marriage. Tilak however, opposed the bill on the grounds
that these bills, if passed, would amount to interference in the religious affairs of a group of Indians by a
foreign government. Hence statement 2 is not correct.
• Radhakant Deb founded the Dharma Sabha in 1830. As an orthodox society, it stood for the
preservation of the status quo in socio-religious matters, opposing even the abolition of sati. However, it
favoured the promotion of Western education, even for girls. Hence statement 3 is not correct.IncorrectAnswer: B
