Which one among the following is not true of the Theosophical Society of Madam H P Blavatsky ?

The Theosophical Society was founded in New York City, USA, in 1875 by Madame H.P. Blavatsky and Colonel H.S. Olcott, confirming it was established outside India [4]. The movement advocated for the revival and strengthening of ancient religions like Hinduism, Buddhism, and Zoroastrianism [5]. It explicitly recognized the doctrine of the transmigration of the soul, aligning with Hindu beliefs in reincarnation and karma [3]. However, the statement that it was silent on the idea of Universal Brotherhood is incorrect. A core objective of the society was to form a nucleus of the 'Universal Brotherhood of Humanity' without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste, or color [3]. This principle was considered the fundamental basis of the society's work and was formally included in its rules as early as 1879.
