Solution

The correct option is B Mahatma Jyothiba Phule
<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> To challenge caste-based discrimination in Maharashtra, Mahatma Jyothiba Phule established the Sathya Shodhak Samaj in 1873. He belonged to the Mali caste, who were considered inferior by the Brahmins. Pained by such discrimination in society, Phule committed himself to the reformation activities.
