Contribution Of Arya Samaj In Women Education

Abstract

The Arya Samaj aimed to promote the reform and purification of Hinduism by emphasizing
the importance of the vedas as the ultimate source of religious authority. The Arya Samaj
was founded by Swami Dayanand, who was born in 1824 under the British occupation of
India. Swami Dayananda Saraswati rejected many practices and beliefs that he considered
to be later corruptions of Hinduism, such as idol worship, caste discrimination, and certain
rituals. This policy's primary goal was to dehumanize and de-culture those with English
educational backgrounds. The most significant issues at the time stemmed from colonial
persecution of India by the British, as well as a variety of other injustices.
This paper aims to explore the genesis of Arya Samaj and its rules and regulations. It also
illustrates the contribution of the Arya Samaj in the Indian freedom struggle and its
negotiation with various political and social movement. This paper argues that Arya Samaj
emphases on the various social issues based on caste based discrimination and religious
conversions
