In kannada literature, ‘vachana movement’ addressed

The correct option is Progressive values.

Explanation:
The Vachana movement was a prominent social, religious, and literary movement in Karnataka during the 12th century, spearheaded by social reformers like Basaveshwara (Basavanna), Allama Prabhu, and Akka Mahadevi.
Unlike traditional literature of the time that focused on complex Vedic rituals, Vedantic philosophies, or Upanishadic ideas in Sanskrit, the Vachanas were composed in simple, spoken Kannada (the language of the common people).
The primary objective of the Vachana movement was to propagate progressive social values. It vehemently opposed the rigid caste system, rejected gender discrimination, challenged orthodox ritualism, and advocated for the dignity of labor (Kayaka) and equality for all individuals in society. Therefore, the movement is celebrated for championing progressive values rather than orthodox Vedic or Upanishadic themes.
