Match the following and choose the correct answer.Political Organisation Founder I. Khaksars a. Subhash Chandra Bose II. Socialist Party b. Inayatullah Mashriqui III. Independent Labour Party c. Jayaprakash Narayan IV. Forward Bloc d. B. R. Ambedkar
I – b, II – c, III – d, IV – a
The correct matching is I – b, II – c, III – d, IV – a, option 2.
| Organisation | Founder | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Khaksars | Inayatullah Khan Mashriqi | Founded at Lahore in 1931; a disciplined, uniformed movement whose volunteers carried a spade, the belcha, as their emblem of service |
| Congress Socialist Party | Jayaprakash Narayan | Formed at Patna in 1934, with Acharya Narendra Deva as president and JP as general secretary; a socialist group working within the Congress |
| Independent Labour Party | B. R. Ambedkar | Founded in Bombay in 1936 to contest the 1937 provincial elections on behalf of the depressed classes and labour; later became the Scheduled Castes Federation |
| Forward Bloc | Subhas Chandra Bose | Founded in 1939 after Bose resigned the Congress presidency following his differences with Gandhi over the Tripuri session |
How to work through it. The two easiest pairings are Ambedkar with the Independent Labour Party and Bose with the Forward Bloc — both are among the best-known facts of the 1930s. Fixing III – d and IV – a eliminates every option except the second.
The common thread. All four organisations were founded in the 1930s, and all four represent forces that the Congress could not contain within itself — Muslim separatist mobilisation, socialism, the assertion of the depressed classes, and the radical left-nationalism of Bose. Read together they explain a great deal about why the politics of the following decade took the shape it did.
A note on Bihar. Two of the four have a direct Bihar connection: the Congress Socialist Party was founded at Patna, and Jayaprakash Narayan, born at Sitabdiara, went on to lead the movement of 1974 that began in Bihar.
Hence, the answer is I – b, II – c, III – d, IV – a.
