Correct Answer:

Marathi

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 2- Marathi

Jyotiba Phule wrote Gulamgiri in Marathi in 1873.

Gulamgiri, which means "slavery" in Marathi, is a scathing critique of the caste system in India. Phule argues that the caste system is a form of slavery in which the lower castes are oppressed and exploited by the upper castes. He calls for the abolition of the caste system and for the establishment of a more egalitarian society.

Gulamgiri was one of the first works of anti-caste literature in India. It had a profound impact on the Indian independence movement and helped to inspire many social reformers, including Mahatma Gandhi and B.R. Ambedkar.
