Which of the following ideas was/were shared by Raja Rammohan Roy and Rabindranath Tagore ?

Raja Rammohan Roy and Rabindranath Tagore shared a profound commitment to modernity, rationalism, and universal humanism. Roy, the 'Father of Indian Renaissance,' staunchly opposed idol worship, viewing it as a source of social division [t2, t3]. He advocated for a rational and scientific approach to religion and society, a sentiment echoed by Tagore who admired Roy's realization of the 'Modern Age' [t1, t6]. Both figures were proponents of internationalism; Roy believed in unrestricted cross-national collaboration and the brotherhood of nations, while Tagore famously championed universalism over narrow nationalism [t1, t7]. Tagore’s family, particularly his father Debendranath, carried forward Roy’s Brahmo tradition, which emphasized monotheism and rejected idolatry [c5, t1]. Their shared vision integrated ancient Indian civilization with modern European methods, emphasizing reason, human dignity, and global interdependence [t6, t7].
