Answer 1

HEY DEAR HERE IS UR ANSWER

Impact of the Reform Movement

As a result of reform movements significant advances were made in the field

of emancipation of women. Legal measures were introduced to elevate their

status. The practice of sati and infanticide were made illegal. In 1856 a law

was passed permitting widow remarriage .Another law passed in 1860 raised the

marriageable age of girls to ten which was a significant advance in those days.

Many superstitions also began to disappear. The reform movements that grew

differed from each other in many parts but they all helped in awakening the

people to the need for change. The reform movements contributed a great deal to

the birth of Indian nationalism. These were country-wide movements influencing

people everywhere and not just in isolation.

The reform activities united people and the attack on institutions like caste

which hampered social unity created a sense of oneness in the people. But most

of these reform movements had certain limitations. The questions to which they

gave primacy concerned only small sections of Indian society. Some of them

failed to emphasize or even recognize that colonial rule was inimical to the

interests of the Indian people. Most of them worked within the framework of

their respective communities in a way tended to promote identities based on

religion or caste. Many of these limitations were sought to be overcome during

the course of the national movement with which many social and religious

reformers were closely associated. Indian nationalism aimed at the regeneration

of the entire Indian society irrespective of caste and community. It was no

longer necessary to confine the movement of social reform to one’s own

community.
