Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The Tattvabodhini Patrika was established in 1843 by Debendranath Tagore as the official organ of the Tattvabodhini Sabha [2][3]. Its primary objective was to promote a systematic study of India's past and propagate theistic Hinduism with a rational outlook [2][3]. Crucially, this intellectual and historical exploration was conducted in the Bengali language, which helped spread a rational outlook among the intellectuals of Bengal [2]. Under the editorship of Akshay Kumar Dutt, the journal became a leading magazine that combined Indian learning with Western thought, focusing on the systematic study of India's past while using Bengali as the medium for scholarly and religious discourse [2][3][3]. This approach was part of a broader effort to revitalize the Brahmo Samaj and provide a platform for progressive elements in contemporary Bengal [3].
