Which social reformer from Telangana worked for the upliftment of Dalits and women?

B. R. Ambedkar
Bhagya Reddy Varma
Mahatma Gandhi
Sarojini Naidu

The correct answer is B. R. Ambedkar.

Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar (1891-1956), popularly known as Babasaheb Ambedkar, was an Indian jurist, economist, politician, and social reformer who campaigned against social discrimination against Dalits (formerly known as “Untouchables”) and women. He was the principal architect of the Constitution of India, and is considered one of the greatest leaders of India.

Bhagya Reddy Varma (1882-1950) was an Indian freedom fighter, social reformer, and writer from Telangana. He is best known for his role in the Telangana Rebellion of 1946-48. He was also a pioneer of the women’s rights movement in Telangana.

Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) was the preeminent leader of Indian nationalism in British-ruled India. Employing nonviolent civil disobedience, Gandhi led India to independence and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. The honorific title Mahatma—meaning “high-souled”—was bestowed on him first in 1914 in South Africa, and became widely used in India in the 1920s.

Sarojini Naidu (1879-1949) was an Indian independence activist, poet, and politician. She was the first Indian woman to become the President of the Indian National Congress. She was also the first woman Governor of an Indian state, United Provinces (now Uttar Pradesh).
