Q1. Which of the following social reformers was associated with the abolition of Sati Pratha?
Explanation
Raja Ram Mohan Roy is closely associated with the campaign against Sati Pratha. His reformist efforts, writings and public advocacy helped build the case for the legal abolition of Sati in 1829 under Governor-General William Bentinck. Vivekananda is mainly linked with Vedanta and social awakening in the late nineteenth century. Dayanand Saraswati founded the Arya Samaj and worked for Vedic reform. Govind Ranade was an important reformer in western India, but the abolition of Sati is especially connected with Raja Ram Mohan Roy.
