Q1. Read the following statements carefully: (I) In the late 19th century, the Desh Hiteshini Sabha was established in Mewar. (II) Social reform was the core objective of the Sabha. Choose the correct code.
A Only statement (I) is true
B Only statement (II) is true
C Neither (I) nor (II) is true
D Both the statements are true Correct
Explanation
Both statements are correct. Desh Hiteshini Sabha was formed in Mewar in the late 19th century, and its central purpose was social reform. The Sabha is remembered in Rajasthan's reform history for addressing harmful customs and encouraging change within society. Saying only the first statement is true ignores its reform objective. Saying only the second statement is true denies the Mewar and late-19th-century context. Saying neither is true rejects both historically accepted points, so it does not fit the question.
