Who among the following succeeded Raja Ram Mohan Roy as the leader of the Brahmo Samaj?
Debendra Nath Tagore
The Brahmo Samaj was founded by Raja Ram Mohan Roy in 1828 as a reformist movement against idolatry, caste rigidities and social evils.
After Raja Ram Mohan Roy died in 1833, the movement was revived and led by Debendra Nath Tagore, who joined in 1842 and gave the organisation renewed strength and direction.
Keshub Chandra Sen came later and eventually caused a split in the Samaj, while Swami Vivekananda belonged to the Ramakrishna movement and Dwarkanath Tagore was a business associate, not the successor leader.
Hence, Debendra Nath Tagore succeeded Raja Ram Mohan Roy as the leader of the Brahmo Samaj.
