The social reform movements which emerged in India in the 19th century arose to the challenges that colonial Indian society faced. Before this, there were attempts to eradicate social evils existing in Indian society. However, 19th and 20th-century social reform attempts were different in several levels. Sociologist Satish Saberwal elaborates on this development by sketching three aspects of modern times (a) modes of communication, (b) forms of organization, and (c) the nature of ideas. New technologies speeded up various forms of communication. Within India, social reformers from Punjab and Bengal exchanged ideas with reformers from Madras and Maharashtra. Some of them went to other countries, while people and organizations came to India reaching remote corners of the country.

Which of the following does NOT fit into Satish Saberwal's framework outlining the modern context of social reform movements in colonial India?

capitalism.

The correct answer is Option 1: Capitalism.

Capitalism is not one of the three aspects identified by Satish Saberwal. Although it influenced social change in colonial India, it is not included in his framework explaining the modern context of the social reform movements.
