Social reformers felt outdated customs and superstition were evils. Why
Answers
Answer:
The social reformers felt that outdated customs and superstitions were evils because the customs and superstitions promoted inequality and caste-discrimination.
Explanation:
Due to certain customs (like satipratha) women were not equally respected and it was believed that women had no life if their husbands died. This belief was not supported by the reformers, such as Rammohun Roy, as they strongly felt that women were also human beings and should be given equal respect and value in the society.
The practice of untouchability is another example. In the early times, the so-called 'low caste' people and dalits were not given access to the public facilities which were utilized by the 'upper-caste' people. They were not allowed to use wells and tanks used by the Brahmans, not allowed in temples and places of worship as it was believed that they would 'pollute' the environment and that even their shadow falling on someone was considered unlucky. These superstitions were highly opposed by reformers like Periyar, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and Jyotirao Phule.
To fight against such customs and superstitions, reformers led numerous movements, protests and missions to spread equality and justice for the people who have been subjected to such atrocities.
