Explanation

Raja Rammohan Roy, the 'Father of Indian Renaissance', was instrumental in initiating socio-religious reforms in 19th-century India. In 1814 (or 1815), he founded the Atmiya Sabha (Society of Friends) in Calcutta to promote monotheistic ideals and discuss theological subjects [c1][t4][t7]. His literary contributions include 'Tuhfat-ul-Muwahhidin' (A Gift to Monotheists), published in 1805/1809, which criticized idolatry and advocated for a single universal deity [c1][t5][t7]. In 1820, he published 'The Precepts of Jesus', where he separated the moral teachings of Christ from the miraculous stories [c4][t8]. Finally, in August 1828, he established the Brahmo Sabha (later Brahmo Samaj) to institutionalize his vision of a purified, monotheistic form of Hinduism [c3][t3][t10]. Since all four statements accurately describe his historical contributions, option 4 is correct.
