#1. Who was the author of the book “Gulamgiri”?
Explanation:
- Mahatma Jyotirao Phule was a prominent social reformer and writer who authored the book “Gulamgiri” in 1873. The title translates to “Slavery,” and the work critically examines the caste system in India, highlighting the oppression faced by lower castes. Phule dedicated this book to the American movement to free slaves, drawing parallels between the conditions of African-American slaves and the lower castes in India.
Analysis of Other Options:
- A. Swami Dayanand Saraswati: He was the founder of the Arya Samaj, a Hindu reform movement, and is known for his work “Satyarth Prakash.” He did not author “Gulamgiri.”
- B. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar: A principal architect of the Indian Constitution and a leading figure in the fight against caste discrimination. While he wrote extensively on social issues, including “Annihilation of Caste,” he did not write “Gulamgiri.”
- D. Swami Ramkrishan Parmhans: This appears to be a conflation of two different spiritual leaders: Swami Ramakrishna Paramhansa, a mystic and saint, and Swami Vivekananda, his disciple. Neither authored “Gulamgiri.”
- Therefore, the correct answer is C. Mahatma Jyotirao Phule.
