Explanation

19th century Indian social reformers like Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, and Jyotiba Phule focused on eliminating social evils such as sati, child marriage, and caste discrimination. They worked toward establishing an egalitarian society based on human dignity and equal rights.
