▶ Answer & Explanation
Correct answer: B. 2 and 3 only
Dr. B. R. Ambedkar founded the All India Scheduled Castes Federation in 1942, which later transformed into the Republican Party of India. He also established the Independent Labour Party in 1936 to represent the interests of the depressed classes and industrial workers. The Peasants and Workers Party of India, however, was founded by Keshavrao Jedhe and Dinkarrao Patil in 1948, with aims distinct from Ambedkar's organizations.
