Opening lines

The 19th Century witnessed the transition of the Gujarat Society as a result of the general impact of the British rule in this region. The process of colonization was at the same time released by colonial rulers as a result of which a number of institutions emerged in Gujarat.

The summary

भट्ट गुजरात वर्नाक्युलर सोसायटी का इतिहास लिखती हैं, जिसकी स्थापना १८४८ में अहमदाबाद में भोलानाथ साराभाई, भोगीलाल प्राणवल्लभदास, कवि दलपतराम तथा नगरशेठ प्रेमाभाई हिमाभाई ने ए. के. फोर्ब्स जैसे अंग्रेज अधिकारियों के सहयोग से की थी। वे १९१५ तक स्त्री-शिक्षा और समाज-सुधार में उसके कार्य का विवरण देती हैं। Bhatt traces the Gujarat Vernacular Society, founded at Ahmedabad in 1848 by Bholanath Sarabhai, Bhogilal Pranvallabhdas, the poet Dalpatram and Nagarsheth Premabhai Himabhai with support from A. K. Forbes, and its reformist work for women down to 1915 under colonial rule.
