Answer 1

This question is about a slogan tied to a major religious reform movement.

1. Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati believed that many social evils of his time were not part of original Vedic teaching.
2. He founded the Arya Samaj in 1875 to promote what he considered the true and pure message of the Vedas.
3. His call, "Back to the Vedas", encouraged people to move away from ritualism and return to Vedic principles.
4. This movement also pushed for education, widow remarriage and opposition to caste discrimination.

So the answer is Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati.
