The correct option is 2, which means that only statement 1 and 2 are correct.

Statement 1 states that the main goal of the Marrakesh Treaty is to create a set of mandatory limitations and exceptions for the benefits of the blind and visually impaired. This statement is correct as the primary objective of the treaty is to improve access to published works for the blind, visually impaired, and print-disabled individuals.

Statement 2 states that India has ratified the treaty. This statement is also correct, as India ratified the Marrakesh Treaty on June 24, 2014, signaling its commitment to the agreement.

Statement 3 is incorrect. It states that the treaty has come into force from July 2014. However, the Marrakesh Treaty came into force on September 30, 2016, after it received the required number of ratifications from member countries.

In summary, the correct statements about the Marrakesh Treaty are that the main goal of the treaty is to create mandatory limitations and exceptions for the blind and visually impaired, and India has ratified the treaty.
