Question

What was impact of Swami Dayanand’s views on Sati Pratha?

Answer 1

Explanation:

In Bombay, Swami Dayananda Saraswati (1824-1883) founded an Hindu religious and social reform movement. The community, known as Arya Samaj, promotes Vedic scripture and values, particularly on yajna (sacrifice) quality, which encourages selflessness and giving.

The Arya Samaj movement has made valuable services to Hindu society with its opposition to various social evils and abuses. He opposed women's oppression and campaigned for women's education. He vehemently opposed child marriages, polygamy, the process of "Purdah" and also Sati worship,
