Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

Jyotirao Phule, a prominent social reformer from Maharashtra, founded the Satyashodhak Samaj (Truth Seekers' Society) on September 24, 1873 [2]. The organization aimed to liberate the Shudra and Ati-Shudra communities from the exploitation of upper-caste domination and Brahmanical supremacy [1]. Phule advocated for social service and the spread of education among women and lower castes to achieve social equality [3]. Regarding the other options, the Prarthana Samaj was founded in 1867 by Atmaram Pandurang [4]. The Justice Party was a political organization in the Madras Presidency, and the Bahujan Samaj Party was a much later political development founded by Kanshi Ram in 1984 [5]. Phule's influential works like 'Gulamgiri' and 'Sarvajanik Satyadharma' served as the ideological foundation for the Satyashodhak movement [1].
