Detailed Solution

Jyotirao Phule founded the Satyashodhak Samaj. He was  Born in 1827.  He studied in schools that were set up by Christian missionaries. When he grew up he realised the caste injustice in society. He raised his voice against the caste discrimination that existed in society. He went to attack the brahmins. He said that Brahmins are Aryans and Aryans are foreigners who oppressed the true children in the country (the lower castes). He said that brahmins don't belong in this country and they have no right in the land and power in India. Phule claimed that before Aryan, warrior-peasants ruled the Maratha countryside.  He said that Shudras and Ati Shudras should unite to challenge caste discrimination. He then founded The Satyashodhak Samaj, an association to propagate caste equality.
