Explanation
The 1893 split in the Arya Samaj divided it into the College party and the Gurukul (Mahatma) party. The issues were meat-eating versus vegetarianism (1) and Anglicised versus Sanskrit-based education (4). The split was not over the caste system, widow remarriage or shuddhi. Hence the split occurred on issues 1 and 4.
