Consider the following Women's Associations and their important associates in early twentieth century India : 1. Women's Indian Association of 1917 : Margaret Cousins 2. National Council of Women in India of 1925 : Sarala Devi Chaudhurani 3. Bharat Stree Mahamandal of 1910 : Lady Meherbai Tata Which of the above pairs is/are correctly matched ?

Explanation

The correct answer is Option D as only the first pair is correctly matched.

  • Women’s Indian Association (1917): This association was founded in Adyar, Madras, by Margaret Cousins along with Annie Besant and Dorothy Jinarajadasa. It played a crucial role in the struggle for women's suffrage in India.
  • National Council of Women in India (1925): This was established as a national branch of the International Council of Women. Lady Meherbai Tata was the key figure and president of this council, not Sarala Devi Chaudhurani.
  • Bharat Stree Mahamandal (1910): Founded by Sarala Devi Chaudhurani in Allahabad, it was the first major Indian women's organization initiated by an Indian woman to promote women's education and emancipation.

Since the associates for the second and third organizations are interchanged in the question, only statement 1 is correct.
