Satyashodhak Samaj was founded by Jyotiba Phule in 1873. He was born in 1827 as a gardener’s son. He operated a powerful movement of non-Brahmins. The main objectives of the Samaj were to redeem the Shudras from the influence of Brahmanical scriptures and make them conscious of their human rights and liberate them from mental and religious slavery. He also wrote a book ‘Gulamgiri’ in 1872.
