Practice questions

Q1Given below are two statements: Statement (I): Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar led the Mahad Satyagraha in March 1927 to challenge the regressive customs of the caste Hindus. Statement (II): Dr Ambedkar established the Bahishkrit Hitkarini Sabha in 1924 to highlight the difficulties and grievances of the Dalits before the government. In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

A Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
B Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
C Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
D Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
Explanation

The Mahad Satyagraha of March 1927 was led by Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar to assert civic equality and challenge caste-based exclusion, especially around access to public water. The Bahishkrit Hitkarini Sabha was established by him in 1924 to represent the interests, difficulties and grievances of the depressed classes before public authorities. Since both historical statements are correct, responses saying only the Mahad statement is wrong, only the Sabha statement is wrong, or both are wrong do not fit the facts.
