Question map
Which one of the following pairs is not correctly matched ?
Explanation
The Satya Shodhak Samaj (Truth Seekers’ Society) was founded by Jyotiba (Jyotiba) Phule in 1873 as a movement for social service and spread of education among lower castes; it is explicitly associated with Phule’s reform activities, not with Bal Gangadhar Tilak [1]. Bal Gangadhar Tilak, on the other hand, was the leading figure of the militant nationalist school and widely recognized as Lokamanya Tilak, representing a different strand of the national movement and organisations in Maharashtra [2]. Therefore the pairing of Tilak with Satya Shodhak Sabha is incorrect; the other pairs relate leaders to organisations with which they are historically connected.
