Explanation

The chronological establishment of these early political associations is as follows: The East India Association was founded by Dadabhai Naoroji in London in 1866 to promote Indian welfare among the British public [2]. The Poona Sarvajanik Sabha was established in 1867 (some sources cite 1870) by Mahadeo Govind Ranade and others to act as a bridge between the government and the people [1]. The Madras Mahajan Sabha was formed in 1884 by leaders like M. Viraraghavachari and B. Subramaniya Aiyer to coordinate local political activities [1]. Finally, the Bombay Presidency Association was started in 1885 by Pherozeshah Mehta, K.T. Telang, and Badruddin Tyabji following opposition to the Ilbert Bill [1]. Thus, the correct sequence is 1866, 1867/70, 1884, and 1885, corresponding to the order 1, 2, 3, 4.
