Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

Progressive values

Solution :

The correct option is Progressive values.

The Vachana movement was a prominent social, religious, and literary movement in Karnataka during the 12th century, led by social reformers like Basaveshwara, Akka Mahadevi, and Allama Prabhu.
The movement rejected traditional hierarchies, caste distinctions, and gender discrimination, advocating instead for social equality, dignity of labor (Kayaka), and individual devotion (Bhakti). By writing in simple, spoken Kannada rather than elitist Sanskrit, the Vachana writers democratized literature and philosophy, making progressive social and moral values accessible to all sections of society.
