Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Mool Shankar was the paternal name of Swami Dayanand Saraswati. He founded the Arya Samaj that brought about changes in the religious perception of Indians. He voiced his opinions against idolatry and the pointless emphasis on empty ritualism, and man-made dictates that women are not allowed to read the Vedas. His idea of denouncing the caste system inherited by oneself in lieu of their birth was nothing short of radical.
