Match List I with List II and select the answer using the code given below the Lists : A. Vishnu Shastri Pundit B. Karsondas Mulji C. Debendranath Tagore D. Raja Ram Mohan Roy List II (Social Work/Text): 1. Vedic Physics : Scientific Origin of Hinduism 2. Widow Remarriage Association 3. Satya Prakash 4. Tattvabodhini Sabha Code : ABCD

The matching of the social reformers to their respective works or organizations is as follows: Vishnu Shastri Pundit founded the Widow Remarriage Association in the 1850s in Maharashtra [1]. Karsondas Mulji was a prominent Gujarati reformer who started the periodical 'Satya Prakash' in 1852 to advocate for social reforms, particularly widow remarriage [2]. Debendranath Tagore was the leader of the Tattvabodhini Sabha, an organization he founded in 1839 to propagate the ideas of the Upanishads and later merged with the Brahmo Samaj . Raja Ram Mohan Roy, while a pioneer of the Brahmo tradition, is often associated with the intellectual defense of Hinduism; however, in the context of this specific list, the remaining match for 'Vedic Physics' (often attributed to modern interpretations of his rationalist approach to Vedas) completes the set. Thus, the correct sequence is A-2, B-3, C-4, D-1.
