Consider the statements related to Bal Gangadhar Tilak:
- Tilak was associated with the Home Rule League movement.
- Tilak was a founder member of the Indian National Congress.
Which of the above statement(s) is/are correct?
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Statement 1 is correct because Tilak launched the Indian Home Rule League in 1916. Statement 2 is wrong: the Indian National Congress was founded in 1885 by A.O. Hume and other early leaders, and Tilak joined the movement afterwards rather than being a founding member.
