Social movements are organized collective efforts by people to bring about, resist, or reverse social change. They emerge when groups of people perceive injustice, inequality, exploitation, or exclusion and mobilize around shared goals. Sociologists have classified social movements into different typologies based on their objectives, methods, scope, and the nature of change they seek. These classifications help in understanding the diversity of collective action and the changing nature of social struggles in society. One important typology is based on the nature and extent of change proposed. Reform movements seek partial changes within the existing social and political system rather than replacing it. They advocate legal, institutional, or policy reforms. The Right to Information movement and campaigns for women's rights in India are examples of reform movements. Revolutionary movements, on the other hand, aim for a complete transformation of society and existing power structures. The Naxalite movement, inspired by Marxist ideology, represents a revolutionary movement seeking radical socio-economic change. Another classification is based on the target of change. Redemptive movements seek to transform individuals by changing their beliefs, values, or lifestyles. Religious reform movements such as the Arya Samaj and Brahmo Samaj focused on moral and spiritual transformation. Alternative
