The reformers tried to convince people that widow burning, caste distinctions, child marriage, etc. had no sanction in ancient texts. Their knowledge of ancient texts gave them immense confidence and moral support which they utilised in promoting new laws. They did not get feared when people raised voice against the reforms they had brought.
