- The communal division between Brahmins and non-Brahmins began in the presidency during the late-19th and early-2011 century, mainly due to caste prejudices and disproportionate Brahminical representation in government jobs.
- The Justice Party's foundation marked the culmination of several efforts to establish an organisation representing the non-Brahmins in the Madras Presidency and is seen as the start of the Dravidian Movement. In 1920, it won the first direct elections in the presidency and formed the government.
- It came under the leadership of Periyar E. V. Ramaswamy and his Self-Respect Movement. In 1944, Periyar transformed the Justice Party into the social organisation Dravidar Kazhagam and withdrew it from electoral politics.
- It opposed Annie Besant and her Home rule movement because it believed home rule would benefit the Brahmins. The party also campaigned against the non-cooperation movement in the presidency. It was at odds with M. K. Gandhi, primarily due to his praise for Brahminism.

- This movement marked the first major anti-British reaction and its new political order initiated in 1849 among the Punjab people in 1857.
- The Namdhari movement, the aftermath of the Kuka movement, was the most important phase to overthrow the British rule and played an important role in the freedom struggle.
It had evoked strong feelings of self-respect and sacrifice for the country’s freedom struggle. This movement actively propagated boycott and non-cooperation given by Guru Ram Singh (founder of the Namdhari sect) for the Namdharis.

Swami Vivekananda was a renowned Indian philosopher, spiritual leader, and social reformer who played a crucial role in the revival of Hinduism in the late 19th century. He had a profound impact on Indian society and his views on various subjects continue to be influential even today. Let's analyze each statement regarding his views:
1. He championed the supremacy of Vedantic philosophy:
Swami Vivekananda was a strong advocate of Vedantic philosophy, which is based on the teachings of the Vedas, the ancient scriptures of Hinduism. He believed that Vedanta contained the essence of all religions and emphasized the unity of all beings. Vivekananda often spoke about the universality of Vedantic principles and how they could be applied to various aspects of life. He considered Vedanta to be the ultimate truth and believed that it could bring about spiritual awakening and transformation.
2. He was against the idea and concept of Indian nationalism:
This statement is incorrect. Swami Vivekananda was a staunch supporter of Indian nationalism and believed in the idea of a united India. He firmly believed that Indians needed to develop a sense of patriotism and work towards the upliftment and progress of the nation. Vivekananda often spoke about the importance of education, self-reliance, and unity among Indians. He encouraged his fellow countrymen to rise above sectarian differences and work towards the common goal of national development.
3. He resisted the idea of idol worship and identifying religious figures:
This statement is also incorrect. Swami Vivekananda did not resist the idea of idol worship or identifying religious figures. In fact, he emphasized the importance of recognizing and respecting different paths to spirituality. Vivekananda believed that all religions ultimately lead to the same goal and that individuals should follow their own chosen path sincerely. He respected the diversity of religious practices and advocated for a harmonious coexistence of different faiths. While he did criticize certain aspects of idol worship, such as blind rituals and superstitions, he acknowledged the significance of symbols and icons in religious practices.
In conclusion, the correct answer is option 'A' (1 only). Swami Vivekananda championed the supremacy of Vedantic philosophy and believed in the unity of all religions. However, he was a strong supporter of Indian nationalism and recognized the importance of religious diversity while not resisting the idea of idol worship and identifying religious figures.

The correct answer is option 3: 2 only.
The Satnami movement was founded by Guru Ghasidas in the early 19th century in Chhattisgarh, which was then a part of Central Provinces and Berar. Therefore, statement 1 is incorrect.
Statement 2 is correct. The Satnami movement believed in the equality of all human beings and rejected the caste system.
Statement 3 is incorrect. The Satnamis believed in the concept of one God and rejected the worship of idols.
Statement 4 is incorrect. While the Satnamis did rebel against the British, they did not call them "Dikus." This term was used by other tribal communities in the region to refer to outsiders.

 | Amit Kumar answered |
- The Kerala Provincial Congress Committee (KPCC) took up the eradication of untouchability as an urgent issue.
- While carrying on a massive propaganda campaign against untouchability and for the Harijans' educational and social upliftment, it was decided to launch an immediate movement to open Hindu temples and all public roads to the avarnas or Harijans.
- This, it was felt, would give a decisive blow to the notion of untouchability, since it was basically religious in character and the avarnas’ exclusion from the temples was symbolic of their degradation and oppression.
- A beginning was made in Vaikom, a village in Travancore. There was a major temple whose four walls were surrounded by roads that could not be used by avarnas like Ezhavas and Pulayas.
Consider the following statement.1. E.V. Ramasami Naicker was a worker of the Congress party, started the self-respect movement and led the anti-Brahmin movement.2.

- As per some commentators, ‘Their view, at least in the early years, was that God creates the world, and all things within it are pathways to the knowledge of Brahman, the Ultimate Self, and the ultimate goal.
- Similarly, they saw that material wealth, if made and possessed with the correct intention-that of helping society and others- was in fact not only ethically sound but an utter necessity for harmonious society’.
In 1859, the Sabha was dissolved back into the Brahmo Samaj by Debendranath Tagore.

- Derived from the ancient rite of shuddhikaran or purification, it was started by the Arya Samaj founded by Swami Dayanand Saraswati and his followers like Swami Shraddhanand, who also worked on the Sangathan consolidation aspect of Hinduism in North India, especially Punjab in early the 1900s, though it gradually spread across India.
- Shuddhi had a social reform agenda behind its belligerent rationale and aimed to abolish the practice of untouchability by converting outcasts from other religions to Hinduism and integrating them into the mainstream community by elevating their position instilling self-confidence and self-determination in them. The movement strove to reduce the conversions of Hindus to Islam and Christianity, which were underway at the time.
