Lahore Calcutta Surat Bombay |
Bombay |
The correct answer is Option 4 - Bombay It was a secret socio-religious organization founded by Dadoba Pandurang, Durgaram Mehtaji, and several of their friends. The members of the Mandali believed in a universal religion and were opposed to all forms of discrimination, including caste discrimination. The Paramhans Mandali played an important role in raising awareness of the caste system and its evils. It also inspired other social reformers to work for the abolition of caste. However, the Mandali was unable to achieve its ultimate goal of abolishing caste. The caste system is a deeply ingrained institution in Indian society, and it has taken centuries to dismantle it. Nevertheless, the Paramhans Mandali played an important role in the early stages of the anti-caste movement. |
