Detailed Solution

The given statement is false.
Orthodox members of the Hindu and Muslim faiths opposed social reformers. After the actions of lower caste leaders, their books, and their emotional speeches, upper caste nationalist leaders engaged in self-criticism, which also caused them to reevaluate their position. For instance, those opposed to widow remarriage boycotted social reformers like Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar. His advice was taken up by British officials, who in 1856 established legislation allowing widow remarriage. However, very few widows remarried and struggled to find acceptance in society, as orthodox organisations continued to reject them.
Hence, the correct statement is that reformers did not get full support from all sections of the country's people.
