Linguistic identity
Social equality
Temple entry for all
Cooperation with the Congress Party
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: b) Social equality.
The Self-Respect Movement was a social reform movement in India that was founded in 1925 by Periyar E.V. Ramasamy. The movement advocated for social equality, including the abolition of caste discrimination, the empowerment of women, and the promotion of rationalism and atheism.
The movement was successful in achieving some of its goals, such as the abolition of untouchability and the introduction of widow remarriage. However, it was not able to achieve its goal of social equality for all, as caste discrimination continues to exist in India today.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option a) is incorrect because the Self-Respect Movement did not advocate for linguistic identity. The movement was focused on social equality, not on linguistic identity.
- Option c) is incorrect because the Self-Respect Movement did not advocate for temple entry for all. The movement was focused on social equality, not on temple entry.
- Option d) is incorrect because the Self-Respect Movement did not cooperate with the Congress Party. The movement was critical of the Congress Party, and it did not cooperate with the party.
