Q. Who among the following was the founder of the Arya Mahila Samaj in the early 1880s?
Answer: Pandita Ramabai
Notes: Pandita Ramabai, who converted to Christianity, was a tireless champion of women’s emancipation. Because of her fluency in Sanskrit, just one among several languages that Ramabai knew, she was conferred the title of Pandita. In 1882, she established the Arya Mahila Samaj in Pune for women’s education followed by the Sharada Sadan in 1899.
