Who among the following social reformer started a society for the encouragement of widow remarriage in 1866 in Maharashtra ?

Vishnushastri Pandit was a prominent social reformer in Maharashtra who dedicated his life to the cause of widow remarriage. In 1866, he founded the 'Vidhwa Vivaha Uttejak Mandal' (Society for the Encouragement of Widow Remarriage) in Maharashtra, often in collaboration with M.G. Ranade. He was deeply influenced by Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar and published a Marathi translation of Vidyasagar’s work on widow remarriage in the journal 'Indu Prakash'. Pandit used his knowledge of Hindu scriptures, such as the Parasara Smriti, to argue that remarriage was religiously sanctioned, thereby countering orthodox opposition. While other reformers like Jyotirao Phule and Pandita Ramabai also worked for women's upliftment, and M.G. Ranade was a key associate, Vishnushastri Pandit is specifically credited with establishing this society in 1866 to provide social and institutional support for widows.
