Who among the following were the founders of the “Hind Mazdoor Sabha” established in 1948 ?

Show answer

Answer: D. The Hind Mazdoor Sabha was founded in 1948 by socialists including Ashok Mehta, T.S. Ramanujam, G.G. Mehta, Basawon Singh and R.S. Ruikar. So option D.

Watch for: Jayaprakash Narayan was a socialist leader, which makes option B tempting.

Why the other options are wrong
  • A. Wrong because these Kerala communist leaders did not found the HMS.
  • B. Wrong because Deen Dayal Upadhyay and M.N. Roy did not found the HMS.
  • C. Wrong because C.P. Ramaswamy Iyer, Kamaraj and Veeresalingam were not linked to its founding.
