Explanation
Primary sources identify Gauri Shankar Mishra and Indra Narain (Narayan) Dwivedi as the founders of the U.P. Kisan Sabha in February 1918, with Madan Mohan Malaviya providing support for their efforts [1]. Subsequent accounts note that by mid-1919 the Sabha had expanded rapidly and that Jawaharlal Nehru became involved with peasant leaders and village visits only later (around 1920), prompted by activists such as Baba Ramchandra, rather than as an original founder in 1918 [2]. Therefore, Jawaharlal Nehru was not associated with the formation of the U.P. Kisan Sabha in February 1918.
