Which of the following reforms was resented by the Indians?The Abolition of SatiThe Widow Remarriage ActOpening of Girls' schoolBoth (1) and (2)

The reform that was resented by many Indians was primarily the Abolition of Sati. Sati, the practice in which a widow self-immolated on her husband's funeral pyre or was forced to do so, was a deeply rooted cultural practice in certain communities. The abolition, spearheaded by reformers like Raja Ram Mohan Roy and later enforced by the British in the 19th century, faced significant opposition from traditionalist groups who viewed it as an infringement on their cultural and religious practices.

On the other hand, the Widow Remarriage Act aimed to provide rights to widows and was more favorable for women's welfare, though it faced some opposition as well, primarily due to societal norms surrounding widowhood. The opening of girls' schools was generally seen as a progressive move by many reformers advocating for women's education but faced challenges from conservative elements of society.

Thus, the most significant resentment was towards the Abolition of Sati, making the correct choice Both (1) and (2) when considering social backlash in that context.
