Incorrect AnswerPandita Ramabai
Correct AnswerExplanation:
Pandita Ramabai was an Indian social reformer, a champion for the emancipation of women, and a pioneer in education. It was founded by Pandita Ramabai with the aim of 'empowering and educating each woman to lead a dignified life'.
Pandita Ramabai was a social worker, scholar and a champion of women’s’ rights, freedom and education. ‘Pandita’ was the title bestowed on her excellent command over Sanskrit at a very young age. Pandita Ramabai participated in the freedom movement and was one of the 10 women delegates of the Congress session of 1889
After Medhvi's death, Ramabai moved to Pune where she founded Arya Mahila Samaj ( Translation: Arya Women's Society) on November 30, 1882 . The purpose of the society was to promote the cause of women's education and deliverance from the oppression of child marriage. When in 1882 a commission was appointed by Government of India to look into education, Ramabai gave evidence before it. In an address to Lord Ripon's Education Commission, she declared with fervor, "In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred the educated men of this country are opposed to female education and the proper position of women. If they observe the slightest fault, they magnify the grain of mustard-seed into a mountain, and try to ruin the character of a woman."
