Explanation
The Satya Shodhak Samaj (Truth-Seekers' Society) was founded by Jyotirao Phule and his wife Savitribai Phule in 1873 in Maharashtra. Its primary objective was to work for the upliftment, social equality, and education of the Shudras (farmers and artisans) and Ati Shudras (untouchables/Dalits) and women. It was a pioneering anti-caste movement that challenged the dominance of the Brahminical order and advocated for social reform and justice for the marginalized sections of society.
