Accepted Answer

B. M. Malabari. Born in May 18, 1853 in Baroda (present day Vadodara) Berahamji M. Malabari was a social reformer and the chief crusader for the Age of Consent Act, 1891 who campaigned all his life against child marriage and “enforced widowhood”. He founded the Seva Sadan as a social reform and humanitarian organization in 1885. His life work began in 1880 when he acquired the Indian Spectator, an English language daily which he edited for twenty years until it was merged into the Voice of India, which Malabari had already been editing together with Dadabhai Naoroji and William Wedderburn since 1883. In 1901 he became editor of the monthly ‘East and West’, a position he held until shortly before his death on July 12, 1912 at Shimla.
