- A1 and 2 only
- B2 and 3 only
- C1, 2 and 3
- DNone
Explanation
The first All India Depressed Classes Conference was held in 1920 (at Nagpur, presided over by Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj) — not at Poona in 1926 under M.C. Rajah — so statement 1 is incorrect. The All India Depressed Classes Association was formed at Nagpur in 1926 with M.C. Rajah (not Ambedkar) as its first elected president, so statement 2 is incorrect on both year and president. The All India Depressed Classes Congress was Ambedkar's 1930 platform at Nagpur, not a body founded by B.S. Moonje in Bombay in 1936, so statement 3 is incorrect. Hence none of the statements is correct.
