Question

what were the main motives of various Samaj that were formed during 19th century​

Answer 1

To start with explain that some major reformist movements were Brahmo Samaj; Prarthana Samaj; Satya Sodhak Samaj; Aligarh movement; Young Bengal Movement and Ramakrishna mission. Some major revivalist movements were Arya Samaj; Deoband movement etc. The key similarity between these movements was that all of them wanted to change the status quo in the society wherein several deformities had crept in. While the reformist movements strived to change the fundamental system and structures of the society through gradual changes within the existing institutions; revivalist movements tended to revive former customs or practices and thus take the society back to the glorious past. Discuss the relevance of these movements in the current times. One can quote the Tablighi Jamat movement as a passing reference and many others that are in operation.
