right to efforts made by Jyotiba Phule for the upliftment of women
Answers
Mahatma Jotirao Phule laid the foundation of the mass movement for justice, equality and liberation in modern India. He was the first person to create a strong ideological and social movement for the total independence of peasants, labourers and Untouchables – the Shudras and Ati-Shudras – and women in the country. His solutions to problems facing Indian society were comprehensive and revolutionary. Addressing social, cultural, religious and economic issues and emphasizing the role of education, he sought to bring about a fundamental change in society. The main obstacle to this transformation, he concluded, was the brahmanical (caste) system.
Unlike many of his contemporaries who were content with tweaking the brahmanical system and making it less inhuman, Phule’s approach was subversive and his goal was holistic change. He advocated a transformational ideology and dared to practice it. No other social reformer and leaders of 19th and 20th century can match Phule in practising what he preached. That is why Babasaheb Ambedkar considered Phule as his guru alongside with Kabir and Buddha.
