(a) All India Home Rule League

(b) Hindu Mahasabha

(c) South Indian Liberal Federation

(d) The Servants of India Society

Answer 1

Correct option is (a) All India Home Rule League

Upon repeated instance from home rule leaguers, Gandhi did accept the presidentship of the Home Rule League only in 1920 and changed its name to "Swarajya Sabha". While we are at it, let's also gain knowledge about the wrong statements, lest it's asked in future exam!

• South India Liberal Federation (SILF), aka Justice Party, as was officially known at the time of its founding in 1916. EV Ramaswamy Naicker aka Periyar is prominent personality associated with it.
• The Servants of India Society was formed in Pune, Maharashtra, on June 12, 1905 by Gopal Krishna Gokhale, who left the Deccan Education Society to form this association.
• Hindu Mahasabha was founded by Madan Mohan Malviya and some Punjabi leaders in 1915.
