Consider the following statements with regard to Satnami Movement of Central India. a) The movement was founded by Ghasidas. b) The movement was to improve the condition of leather workers. Which of the above statements is/are correct?
The correct answer is Both a and b.
The Satnami movement, a significant socio-religious reform movement in central India, was indeed founded by Ghasidas. This makes statement (a) correct. Furthermore, a key objective of the movement was to uplift the social and economic conditions of the leatherworkers (Chamar) community, who faced significant discrimination and marginalization. This directly addresses statement (b), making it also correct. The Satnami movement challenged the rigid caste system and advocated for social justice and equality. Ghasidas's teachings emphasized monotheism, social reform, and the rejection of caste-based discrimination. He actively worked towards improving the lives of the marginalized leatherworkers by promoting education, self-respect, and economic empowerment within the community. The movement's success in improving the lives of leather workers is a testament to its impact on the social fabric of Central India. Therefore, both statements accurately reflect key aspects of the Satnami movement.
