yes
mahatma hansraj was an Indian social reformer
Answer:
This young man was Hans Raj who soon came to be known as the Mahatma. The two Mahatmas, Gandhi and Hans Raj, had a lot in common: both were slightly built with enormous inner strength, both came from trading families. The Gandhis were banias; Hans Raj was a Khatri whose family was in money-lending. What Mohan Das did by leading the country from foreign bondage to freedom, Hans Raj did by leading the country from the darkness of ignorance to the enlightenment of knowledge.
Hans Raj was born in a small town, Bajwara, in district Hoshiarpur in 1864 (five years before Mohan Das Karam Chand). He lost his father before he was 12 and had to be looked after and educated by his elder brother who drew a meager salary of Rs 40 per month. The family moved to Lahore where Hans Raj joined a missionary school
