Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

Dr. B.R. Ambedkar established several political organizations to advocate for the rights of the marginalized. He founded the Independent Labour Party (ILP) in August 1936 to safeguard the interests of the working class and depressed classes [3]. Later, in July 1942, he established the All India Scheduled Castes Federation (SCF) as a successor to the ILP to specifically represent Dalit political interests [2]. While he also planned the formation of the Republican Party of India, it was formally established after his death [2]. The Peasants and Workers Party of India (PWPI) was not founded by Ambedkar; it was established in 1947 by leaders such as Nana Patil and Keshavrao Jedhe, primarily in Maharashtra, though it shared some ideological ground regarding social justice. Therefore, only the All India Scheduled Castes Federation and the Independent Labour Party were established by him.
