Explanation

The Poona Sarvajanik Sabha was established on April 2, 1870, in Pune, Maharashtra. It was founded by prominent leaders including Mahadev Govind Ranade, Ganesh Vasudeo Joshi, and S. H. Chiplunkar [3]. The organization was designed to act as a bridge or mediating body between the British government and the Indian people, representing native opinions and advocating for legal rights, particularly for peasants [1]. While some historical debates link its origins to the earlier Poona Association founded in 1867, the formal establishment of the Sarvajanik Sabha as a distinct political entity occurred in 1870. It became one of the most influential political organizations in Western India, eventually playing a significant role in the arrangements for the first session of the Indian National Congress in 1885 [3].
