The Satyashodhak Samaj is a social reform organization founded in 1873 by the Indian social reformer Jyotirao Phule in Maharashtra. Its primary aim was to promote social equality and justice, particularly for marginalized communities. The organization focused on issues like caste discrimination, women's rights, and education for all, advocating for a more inclusive society. The name "Satyashodhak" translates to "Truth Seekers," reflecting its commitment to uncovering and addressing social injustices. The Samaj played a significant role in the broader reform movements in India, influencing later leaders and organizations dedicated to social change, including the work of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and the Indian National Congress.
