Social reform specifically aims at :
Changing the inhuman social practices
Social reform is a deliberate, organised effort to remove evils and abuses from society. Its specific aim is to change inhuman social practices such as sati, child marriage, female infanticide, the devadasi system, untouchability and the ban on widow remarriage.
Reformers such as Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, Jyotiba Phule and Mahadev Govind Ranade worked through legislation and public opinion against such practices, which violated human dignity.
Challenging religious dogmas, changing customs in general, or challenging the caste system were parts of some reform movements, but they are narrower or broader in scope. Reform does not aim at changing all customs or opposing religion as such, only practices that harm human beings.
Hence, the answer is Changing the inhuman social practices.
