General knowledge

The Reformation began in 1517 when Martin Luther challenged the Church; in India, social reformers include Raja Ram Mohan Roy (Brahmo Samaj, 1828, worked to abolish sati), Swami Dayananda Saraswati (Arya Samaj, 1875) and Jyotirao Phule (Satyashodhak Samaj, 1873).

Reformation 1517 में शुरू हुआ जब Martin Luther ने चर्च को चुनौती दी; भारत में समाज-सुधारकों में राजा राममोहन राय (ब्रह्म समाज, 1828, सती प्रथा समाप्त करने के लिए काम किया), स्वामी दयानंद सरस्वती (आर्य समाज, 1875) और ज्योतिराव फुले (सत्यशोधक समाज, 1873) शामिल हैं।
