Understanding Association Formation Dates

To correctly arrange the political associations chronologically, we first need to determine the year each association was formed. This involves recalling or researching historical facts about the Indian nationalist movement.

Poona Sarvajanik Sabha Formation

The Poona Sarvajanik Sabha was established in 1867. It was an association aimed at serving as a bridge between the British government and the people of India, representing public interests and grievances.

Indian Association Formation

The Indian Association was founded in Calcutta in 1876. It played a significant role in the political awakening of Bengal and advocated for greater Indian representation in governance.

Madras Mahajan Sabha Formation

The Madras Mahajan Sabha was established in 1884. It was one of the foremost organizations in the Madras Presidency (now Chennai region) dedicated to advocating for the rights and welfare of the Indian population under British rule.

Bombay Presidency Association Formation

The Bombay Presidency Association was founded in 1885. Similar to the others, it aimed to stimulate the interest of the people of the Bombay Presidency in the political questions affecting them.

Arranging Associations Chronologically

By listing the formation dates, we can establish the correct chronological order:

Association Name Formation Year Order Number
Poona Sarvajanik Sabha 1867 1
Indian Association 1876 2
Madras Mahajan Sabha 1884 3
Bombay Presidency Association 1885 4

The chronological order, starting from the earliest formation, is:

  • Poona Sarvajanik Sabha (1867)
  • Indian Association (1876)
  • Madras Mahajan Sabha (1884)
  • Bombay Presidency Association (1885)

This sequence corresponds to the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4.

Selecting the Correct Option

Based on the determined chronological order (1, 2, 3, 4), the correct answer choice that reflects this sequence is the one listing these numbers in that specific order.
