Consider the following statement.1. Book 'Stripurushtulna' was publis...
The correct answer is option 'D' - None of the above.
Explanation:
To determine the correctness of the given statements, let's analyze each statement individually.
Statement 1: Book 'Stripurushtulna' was published by Pandit Ramabai.
This statement is incorrect. The book 'Stripurushtulna' was not published by Pandit Ramabai, but rather it was written by Tarabai Shinde. Tarabai Shinde was a social reformer and women's rights activist in India during the late 19th century. Her book 'Stripurushtulna' (Comparative Study of Men and Women) challenged the prevailing gender inequalities and criticized the position of women in society. Therefore, statement 1 is false.
Statement 2: Tarabai Shinde founded a widows’ home at Poona to provide shelter to widows.
This statement is also incorrect. Tarabai Shinde did not found a widows' home at Poona. However, Pandita Ramabai, another prominent social reformer and women's rights activist of the 19th century, established the Sharada Sadan in Mumbai, which was a home for widows and other destitute women. The aim of Sharada Sadan was to provide shelter, education, and vocational training to widows and help them become self-reliant. Therefore, statement 2 is false.
Conclusion:
Both statements 1 and 2 are incorrect. The book 'Stripurushtulna' was written by Tarabai Shinde, not Pandit Ramabai. Additionally, Tarabai Shinde did not found a widows' home at Poona; it was Pandita Ramabai who established the Sharada Sadan in Mumbai. Hence, the correct answer is option 'D' - None of the above.

- Tarabai Shinde, a woman educated at home at Poona, published a book, Stripurushtulna, (A Comparison between Women and Men), criticising the social differences between men and women.
- Pandita Ramabai, a great scholar of Sanskrit, felt that Hinduism was oppressive towards women, and wrote a book about the miserable lives of upper-caste Hindu women. She founded a widows’ home at Poona to provide shelter to widows who had been treated badly by their husbands’ relatives.
