Who is the person described in the following sentences ? He had learnt the principle of universal equality of man while at the Scottish Mission School.

The official MPSC answer key confirms the correct answer is "ज्योतिबा फुले / Jyotiba Phule". This question's original explanation was written against an earlier, since-corrected answer-key reading and has been cleared pending a verified rewrite, rather than leaving it arguing for the wrong option.
