    Consider the following statements regarding the Mahagujarat Movement:

    1. AOnly 1 and 2
    2. BOnly 3
    3. COnly 2 and 3
    4. D1, 2 and 3
    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

    The Mahagujarat Movement ran from 1956 and won the separate Gujarati-speaking state on 1 May 1960, so statement 3 is correct. Statement 1 reverses the timeline; the Navnirman agitation came much later (1974), so the Mahagujarat leaders couldn't have acted on its success. The 'Chakli Smarak' sparrow story in statement 2 is not part of the movement's history, which is remembered through the Shaheed Smarak for students killed in police firing.
