    Solution

    Arya Samaj was founded by Swami Dayanand Saraswati on April 10, 1875, in Bombay (now Mumbai). As a Hindu reformer and scholar, Swami Dayanand Saraswati emphasized returning to the Vedas as the ultimate authority for knowledge and practice. The Arya Samaj movement promoted education, gender equality, and social reforms including eliminating caste-based discrimination and supporting widow remarriage. It played a crucial role in India's socio-cultural and religious renaissance during the 19th and early 20th centuries.
