Explanation

Vasudeo Balvant Phadke's revolt was shaped by the suffering of the Deccan famine of 1876-77 (1), the Hindu revivalist current of the time (2), and Dadabhai Naoroji's drain-of-wealth critique (3). Jyotiba Phule's reformist ideas belonged to a different ideological stream and were not among Phadke's main influences. Hence 1, 2 and 3 were his main influences.
