Who among the following was NOT associated with the ‘Prarthana Sabha’?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Mahatma Gandhi.
Mahatma Gandhi was not associated with the Prarthana Sabha. The Prarthana Sabha, established in the late 19th century in Bombay, was a socio-religious reform movement inspired by the Brahmo Samaj. Key figures like Atmaram Pandurang, R.G. Bhandarkar, and Govind Ranade worked to promote social reforms, including education, widow remarriage, and the abolition of caste-based discrimination. Gandhi, however, was not involved in its activities, as his focus was on the broader Indian independence movement and social reforms later in the 20th century.
