DDharma Sabha
Correct answer: (B) Mukti Mission — Pandita Ramabai was associated with the Mukti Mission, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Pandita Ramabai was associated with the Mukti Mission, so that is the answer.
★She founded the Mukti Mission around 1889 near Pune (at Kedgaon) as a refuge and educational centre.
★It sheltered widows, orphans, famine victims and other destitute women, offering them education and skills.
★Residents at the Mukti Sadan learned weaving, dairy farming, cooking and other trades to become self-reliant.
★The Indian National Army was the armed force later led by Subhas Chandra Bose, unconnected to Ramabai.
★The Land Holders' Society was a Bengal landlords' association of 1838, again unrelated to her work.
★The Dharma Sabha was an orthodox body founded by Radhakanta Deb in 1830 to oppose reforms like the abolition of Sati, the opposite of Ramabai's mission.
★In 1878 the University of Calcutta honoured Ramabai with the titles Saraswati and Pandita for her Sanskrit learning.
