During the Indian freedom struggle, the National Social Conference was formed. What was the reason for its formation?

Explanation

Indian National Congress did not want to include social reforms in its deliberations and decided to form a separate body for such a purpose. National Social Conference was founded by M.G. Ranade and Raghunath Rao. It was virtually the social reform cell of the Indian National Congress.

The Conference met annually as a subsidiary convention of the Indian National Congress, at the same venue, and focused attention on social reform.

The Conference advocated inter-caste marriages and opposed kulinism and polygamy .
