Explanation:
Governor-General Lord Bentinck passed on December 4, 1829, the Bengal Sati Regulation which banned the Sati practice in all jurisdictions of British. Raja Ram Mohan Roy played a significant role in forcing the British government to pass a law against Sati.
Radhakant Deb founded Dharma Sabha in 1830. It was an orthodox society that stood for the preservation of the status quo in socio-religious matters, & opposed even the abolition of sati. However, it favoured the promotion of Western education, even for girls.
On the occasion of Sivarathri in 1888, Sri Narayana Guru, despite belonging to a lower caste, installed an idol of Siva at Aravippuram in Kerala in his effort to show that the consecration of a god's image was not a monopoly of the brahmins. On the wall of the temple he got inscribed the words, "Devoid of dividing walls of caste or race, or hatred of rival faith, we all live here in brotherhood." The event inspired several socio-religious reform movements in the South, especially the Temple Entry Movement.
Mahad Satyagraha was led by B. R. Ambedkar on 20 March 1927 to allow untouchables to use water in a public tank in Mahad (currently in Raigad district). The day (20 March) is observed as Social Empowerment day in India.
