- AMahatma Gandhi
- BSarojini Naidu
- CB. R. Ambedkar

Explanation
This observation — 'On the 26th January, 1950, we are going to enter a life of contradictions. In politics we will have equality and in social and economic life we will have inequality' — was made by B. R. Ambedkar in his concluding speech to the Constituent Assembly on 25 November 1949. It is not attributed to Gandhi, Sarojini Naidu or Somnath Lahiri. Hence B. R. Ambedkar is the correct answer.
