Which of the following institutions was founded by Mahadev Govind Ranade?
Widow Remarriage Association
Mahadev Govind Ranade was a leading 19th-century social reformer from Maharashtra and a founder of several reform bodies.
He established the Widow Remarriage Association in 1861 to promote and support the remarriage of widows in Hindu society.
Arya Samaj was founded by Dayananda Saraswati and Brahmo Samaj by Raja Ram Mohan Roy, while the Indian National Congress was founded by A.O. Hume with others, so these are not linked to Ranade.
Hence, the institution founded by Mahadev Govind Ranade is the Widow Remarriage Association.
