Concept:Swami Dayanand Saraswati’s core inspiration came from the Vedas, which he considered infallible and the foundation of true Hinduism.
Explanation:Swami Dayanand Saraswati (1824–1883) was a key reformer who gave the call for Swarajya in 1876.
He regarded the Vedas as the supreme and only reliable source of religious truth.
He rejected all later religious ideas, including Puranas, rituals, and idolatry, wherever they conflicted with the Vedas.
His slogan “Back to the Vedas” urged a revival of Vedic learning and purity, not a return to ancient times.
Thus, his inspiration came solely from the Vedas, not from Puranas, medieval saints, or Sufism.
Answer:B. Vedas
