Arya Samaj was founded by Swami Dayanand Saraswati in the year 1875 in Bombay that is now known as Mumbai to get rid of social evils of Hindu society. Arya Samaj is a bona fide Hindu-Vedic organization. It is non-denominational authentic Hindu-Vedic religious organization dedicated to remove superstition, orthodoxy and social evils such as un-touchability etc., from society. It is to propagate true pristine knowledge enshrined in Vedas. To educate women and downtrodden of society, Arya Samaj opened many educational institutions such as schools, colleges, technical institutions such as medical and engineering colleges and universities. It encouraged Hindu interdenominational marriages and also widow remarriages. Arya Samaj is not a religion or new sect in Hinduism, but is a social reform movement.
