The introduction of reforms what ? Greatly opposed by the aristocracy
Answers
Answer:
A reform movement is a type of social movement that aims to bring a social or political system closer to the community's ideal. A reform movement is distinguished from more radical social movements such as revolutionary movements which reject those old ideals, in that the ideas are often grounded in liberalism, although they may be rooted in socialist (specifically, social democratic) or religious concepts. Some rely on personal transformation; others rely on small collectives, such as Mahatma Gandhi's spinning wheel and the self-sustaining village economy, as a mode of social change. Reactionary movements, which can arise against any of these, attempt to put things back the way they were before any successes the new reform movement(s) enjoyed, or to prevent any such successes.
Answer:
Reforms in society have always entailed questioning the status quo in society and an attempt to overturn it.
Explanation:
Throughout history, all attempts at reforms have been brought to question the status quo of there being a handful of people in power and the vast majority being at their mercy.
Many reforms in India were brought about by educated middle-class people like Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, and Jyotirao and Savitribai Phule. They largely worked for women's empowerment, education, and the abolition of social practices like untouchability, sati, etc. They were also against idolatry and the caste system.
All these actions were abhorred by the upper Brahmanical castes and the patriarchal families.
