The slide on Social Issues outlines gender discrimination, including women denied education, forced early marriages, and the tragic Sati practice for widows. It also details caste-based oppression, such as untouchability, barriers to opportunities, and severe hardships for lower castes.
Early reformers challenged harmful customs to promote education, equality, and an end to discrimination. They were inspired by innovative new ideas.
