The correct statement is 1 only.

Dadabhai Naoroji was a prominent Indian nationalist and a member of the Indian National Congress. He is known for his role in exposing the economic exploitation of India by the British. He wrote several books, including "Poverty and Un-British Rule in India," in which he argued that British policies were responsible for the impoverishment of India.

While Naoroji was a great scholar and thinker, there is no evidence that he interpreted ancient Indian texts or stressed the need for the eradication of social evils. His main contribution to the Indian National Movement was his focus on economic issues and his efforts to bring attention to the economic exploitation of India by the British.
