The correct answer is Satyashodhak Samaj.

Jyotirao Phule founded the Satyashodhak Samaj (Truth-Seekers’ Society) in 1873 in Maharashtra.

The Satyashodhak Samaj aimed to challenge the caste system and Brahmanical supremacy, advocating for the education and upliftment of women, Shudras, and Ati-Shudras (Dalits). Phule’s wife, Savitribai Phule, was also a prominent figure in the movement and a pioneer of women’s education in India. Prarthana Samaj was founded in 1867 in Mumbai, influenced by the Brahmo Samaj. The Justice Party was a political organization in the Madras Presidency of British India, founded in 1916. Bahujan Samaj is a term more associated with later anti-caste movements and political parties like the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP).
