Jyotiba Phule\u2019s journey from a young boy in a lower-caste family to a social reformer of great repute is an inspiring tale. His early education was instrumental in shaping his ideology. After completing his schooling, Phule was exposed to the rigid social stratification that defined 19th-century India. He was particularly impacted by an incident during the wedding of a Brahmin friend, where he was insulted for participating in the procession, an event that pushed him to challenge the caste system head-on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In <\/span><b>1848<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Phule took a bold step by establishing the <\/span><b>first school for girls <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in Pune at the residence of <\/span><b>Tatyasaheb Bhide<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
