Vishnushastri Pandit started a society for the encouragement of widow remarriage in 1866 in Maharashtra.<\/section>\n
Vishnushastri Pandit was a prominent social reformer in Maharashtra who actively campaigned for widow remarriage. He founded the Punarvivah Uttejaka Mandali (Society for the Encouragement of Widow Remarriage) in 1866 to promote this cause through public lectures, writings, and practical assistance.<\/section>\n
Bal Gangadhar Tilak, a later nationalist leader from Maharashtra, focused more on political swaraj and social customs preservation, though he was not against reform in principle. Jyotirao Phule was a radical social reformer in Maharashtra who worked extensively against caste discrimination and for women’s education, and while he supported widow remarriage, he is not primarily credited with starting a specific society for this cause in 1866. Pandita Ramabai was a pioneering social reformer, particularly known for establishing institutions for destitute women and widows, but her main activities and institutions like Sharada Sadan began in the 1880s.<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
