He also established the Calcutta Unitarian Committee along with Dwarkanath Tagore. ● Statement 2 is incorrect: Brahmo Samaj had no definite view on Karma and transmigration of the soul. It was established by Raja Rammohan Roy in 1828 and favoured human reason, logic and political upliftment of the masses. It was based on the twin pillars of logic and Upanishads. ● Statement 3 is incorrect: Radha Kant Deb established Dharma Sabha in 1830 which was in reaction to the establishment of Brahmo Samaj by Raja Rammohan Roy.
