Solution :

The correct option is 1, 2 and 3.


Let us analyze each pair given in the question step-by-step:


Pair 1: All India Anti-Untouchability League – Mahatma Gandhi
Mahatma Gandhi founded the All India Anti-Untouchability League in September 1932 following his epic fast against the Communal Award. The organization was later renamed Harijan Sevak Sangh. Its objective was to eradicate untouchability and work for the social, educational, and economic upliftment of the depressed classes. Therefore, Pair 1 is correctly matched.


Pair 2: All India Kisan Sabha – Swami Sahajanand Saraswati
The All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS) was formed in April 1936 at the Lucknow session of the Indian National Congress. Swami Sahajanand Saraswati was elected as its first President, and N.G. Ranga became its General Secretary. It was established to address agrarian distress and protect peasant rights in India. Therefore, Pair 2 is correctly matched.


Pair 3: Self-Respect Movement – E.V. Ramaswami Naicker
The Self-Respect Movement was launched in 1925 in Tamil Nadu by E.V. Ramaswami Naicker (popularly known as Periyar). The movement aimed to create a society free from caste divisions, equal rights for backward classes, and women's empowerment by questioning traditional social norms. Therefore, Pair 3 is correctly matched.


Since all three pairs are correctly matched, the correct choice is 1, 2 and 3.
