social reformers of the 19th century is INCORRECT?Solution
Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar was not a member of the Brahmo Samaj. He was a prominent social reformer known for his advocacy of widow remarriage and women's education. The Brahmo Samaj was founded by Raja Ram Mohan Roy in 1828, and its members included reformers like Debendranath Tagore and Keshab Chandra Sen.

Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar's notable reform was the Widow Remarriage Act of 1856. 5. The Brahmo Samaj aimed at eradicating social evils like casteism and idol worship. Bee Facts: • Sir Syed Ahmad Khan: Key figure in modern Muslim education in India. • Dayanand Saraswati: Advocated "Back to the Vedas" and criticized idol worship. • Mahadev Govind Ranade: Known as the "Father of Indian Social Reform." • Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar: Promoted widow remarriage and opposed child marriage.
