Correct answer: (a) Jyotiba Phule
Explanation
The upliftment of the backward classes was the main programme of the Satyashodhak Samaj, which was founded by Jyotiba Phule in 1873.

To spread his anti-Brahmanical activities in an organised manner, he wrote critical works like ‘Sarvajanik Satya Dharma Pustak’ and ‘Gulamgiri’.
