Which prominent Indian reformer founded the Poona Sarvajanik Sabha during the Indian National movement?
Mahadev Govind Ranade
The Poona Sarvajanik Sabha, established in 1870, was one of the early political associations that voiced public grievances to the British government and acted as a forerunner to the Indian National Congress.
It was founded by Mahadev Govind Ranade (along with associates such as Ganesh Vasudeo Joshi), a leading social reformer and judge of the Bombay High Court, who used it to promote constitutional agitation and representation of Indian interests.
Gopal Hari Deshmukh (Lokhitwadi) was associated with it as a member but was not its founder, while Dadabhai Naoroji and Gopal Krishna Gokhale are linked with other bodies.
Hence, the Poona Sarvajanik Sabha was founded by Mahadev Govind Ranade.
