Sathya Shodhak Samaj, founded in 1873 by social reformer Jyotirao Phule in Maharashtra, aimed to uplift the marginalized and oppressed communities, particularly the lower castes and women, from the domination of Brahmins and upper-caste Hindus. The organization sought to promote social equality, education, and economic rights for all, especially the so-called untouchables and other disadvantaged groups.
Phule’s movement challenged the caste system and religious orthodoxy, advocating for the rights of peasants and laborers. The Samaj encouraged self-respect, rationalism, and the rejection of caste-based discrimination. Phule's work laid the foundation for later social reform movements in India. His ideology of equality and anti-casteism greatly influenced figures like B.R. Ambedkar in their struggle for social justice.
