Who amongst the following organized the All India Scheduled Castes Federation?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

Dr. B.R. Ambedkar organized the All India Scheduled Castes Federation (SCF) in July 1942 during a national convention held at Nagpur [1]. The SCF was established as the first all-India political party exclusively dedicated to the interests of the Scheduled Castes, succeeding his earlier Independent Labour Party. The organization aimed to institutionalize the struggle for Dalit rights and demanded separate electorates and representation in the executive council [1]. Ambedkar later announced the dissolution of the SCF in 1956 to pave the way for the Republican Party of India, though he passed away before its formal inauguration [2]. Other figures like Jyotiba Phule founded the Satyashodhak Samaj in 1873, focusing on social service and education for lower castes, but were not associated with the SCF [2].
