Option 1: Prarthana Samaj was founded by Atmaram Pandurang in 1867 in Bombay. It aimed to promote the worship of one God and to eradicate social evils like untouchability.

Option 2: Bahujan Samaj is a political party in India that was founded by Kanshi Ram in 1984. It focuses on the empowerment of the Bahujan community, which includes Dalits, OBCs, and religious minorities.

Option 3: Justice Party was founded by T. M. Nair and Dr. T. M. Nair in Madras in 1916. It was established to represent the non-Brahmin caste groups and advocate for their political and social rights.
