Understanding Reform Organisations and Founders Match

This question asks to identify the correctly matched pair between a social reform organisation and its founder from the given options. Let's analyze each option to determine the correct association:

Analyzing Organisation-Founder Pairs

• Option 1: Brahmo Samaj – Dayanand Saraswati
  • The Brahmo Samaj was founded by Raja Ram Mohan Roy in 1828.
  • Dayanand Saraswati was the founder of the Arya Samaj.
  • Therefore, this pair is incorrectly matched.
• Option 2: Arya Samaj - Raja Ram Mohan Roy
  • As mentioned above, the Arya Samaj was founded by Dayanand Saraswati.
  • Raja Ram Mohan Roy is associated with the Brahmo Samaj.
  • Hence, this pair is also incorrectly matched.
• Option 3: Satya Shodhak Samaj - Jyotiba Phule
  • The Satya Shodhak Samaj (Truth Seekers' Society) was established by Jyotiba Phule in 1873 in Maharashtra.
  • This organisation aimed to fight against the caste system and promote social equality for the lower castes (Shudras and Ati-Shudras).
  • This match is correct.
• Option 4: Bahujan Samaj - BR Ambedkar
  • The term 'Bahujan Samaj' refers to the majority population, primarily comprising Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Other Backward Classes.
  • Dr. B.R. Ambedkar was a paramount leader and advocate for the rights of the Bahujan community.
  • However, the political party known as the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) was founded by Kanshi Ram in 1984. While Dr. Ambedkar's ideology heavily influenced the BSP and the broader Bahujan movement, he is not typically credited as the direct founder of an organisation specifically named 'Bahujan Samaj' in the same context as the other options.
  • Therefore, this match is considered less accurate or contextually incorrect compared to option 3.

Conclusion on Correct Matching

Based on the analysis, the only pair that is correctly matched is Satya Shodhak Samaj with its founder, Jyotiba Phule.
