In October 1920, who of the following headed a group of Indians gathered at Tashkent to set up a Communist Party of India?

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: D
Explanation

The Communist Party of India was established by a group of Indian émigré revolutionaries in Tashkent in October 1920, and the meeting was headed by M. N. Roy. Contemporary accounts and textbooks identify M. N. Roy (Manabendra Nath Roy) as the leading organiser of the Tashkent gathering that founded the CPI and list co-founders such as Abani Mukherji, M.P.T. Acharya, Mohammad Ali and Mohammad Shafiq [1]. Documentary collections and party histories that chronicle the period “From Tashkent to Kanpur (1920–1925)” likewise record the emigre formation of the party in Tashkent in October 1920, corroborating Roy’s central role in organising the founding group [2].
