Indian social reform refers to the movement aimed at improving societal conditions and addressing issues such as caste discrimination, gender inequality, and poverty. Key figures like Raja Ram Mohan Roy and B.R. Ambedkar played significant roles in advocating for change, promoting education, and challenging traditional practices. The movement gained momentum in the 19th and 20th centuries, leading to various legislative reforms. Initiatives included the abolition of practices like sati and the promotion of women's rights, which helped shape modern Indian society. These efforts continue to influence contemporary discussions on social justice and equality.
