Satyashodhak Samaj

Satyashodhak Samaj was a social reform movement founded in 1873 by Jyotirao Phule in India. Its goal was to promote equality and challenge social injustices, especially those caused by caste discrimination and Hindu orthodox practices. The organization aimed to uplift marginalized groups like backward castes and promote education, rational thinking, and social justice. It emphasized reason over religious orthodoxy and sought to create a more inclusive society free of caste-based discrimination. The Samaj played a significant role in inspiring social change and advocating for the rights of oppressed communities in India.
