Arya Samaj

Hindu religious sect founded by Dayanand Saraswati (1825–1888) in about 1875. He renounced idol worship and urged a return to the purer principles of the Vedas (Hindu scriptures). For its time the movement was quite revolutionary in its social teachings, which included forbidding caste practices, prohibiting child-marriage, and allowing widows to remarry.
