Correct Answer - Option 1 : Dayanand Saraswati

The correct answer is Dayananda Saraswati.

  • Dayananda Saraswati
    • Dayananda Saraswati [1824-1883] was the first to give the call for Swarajya – "India for Indians" – in 1876.
    • For his own inspiration, Swami Dayanand went to the Vedas which he regarded as infallible.
      • He rejected all later religious thought if it conflicted with the Vedas.
      • This total dependence on Vedas and their infallibility gave his teachings orthodox coloring.
      • He was opposed to idolatry, ritual, and priesthood and particularly to the prevalent caste practices and popular Hinduism as preached by brahmins.
      • Swami Dayanand met Keshub Chandra Sen, Vidyasagar, Justice Ranade, Gopal Hari Deshmukh, and other modern religious and social reformers.
  • Hence option 1 is correct.

  • The Arya Samaj Movement, revivalist in form though not in content, was the result of a reaction to Western influences.
    • It was founded by Dayananda Saraswati (1824-1883).
      • Dayananda’s views were published in his famous work, Satyarth Prakash (The True Exposition).
        His vision of India included a classless and casteless society, a united India (religiously, socially and nationally), and an India free from foreign rule, with Aryan religion being the common religion of all.
      • Dayananda subscribed to the Vedic notion of chaturvarna system in which a person was not born in any caste but was identified as a brahmin, Kshatriya, vaishya, or shudra according to the occupation the person followed.
