Correct answer: (A) Belief in the authority of the Shastri class — Belief in the authority of the Shastri class was not an ideal, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Belief in the authority of the Shastri class was not an ideal, so that is the answer.
★The Arya Samaj was established by Swami Dayananda Saraswati in 1875 at Bombay.
★It opposed priestly authority and idolatry, so belief in the authority of a Shastri class was not its ideal.
★Its ideals included the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man.
★They also included equality between the genders and the Shuddhi movement.
★So the option that was not an Arya Samaj ideal is belief in the authority of the Shastri class.
