Identify the inaccurate pairing in the context of social reform from the following options ?
Answer: B
The inaccurate pairing is Gopal Hari Deshmukh - Buddhist Movement.
Gopal Hari Deshmukh, known as Lokahitawadi, was a nineteenth-century Maharashtrian reformer whose Shatapatre (hundred letters) attacked caste rigidity, child marriage and the treatment of widows. He was a rationalist Hindu reformer, not a leader of any Buddhist movement; the modern Buddhist movement in Maharashtra is identified with Dr B. R. Ambedkar's conversion of 1956.
The other three pairs are correct. Raja Ram Mohan Roy campaigned for the abolition of sati, which came in 1829. Gandhi fought untouchability and founded the Harijan Sevak Sangh in 1932. Dhondo Keshav Karve championed widow remarriage and widows' education, founding a home for widows in 1896.
