Consider the following statements with reference to the Justice Party :
1. The Justice Party opposed Congress by calling it a Brahmin dominated organisation.
2. It claimed the same communal representation for non-Brahmins as the Morley-Minto reforms had given to Muslims.
Which of the above statements is/are correct ?

The Justice Party (South Indian Liberal Federation), founded in 1916 by T.M. Nair and P. Tyagaraya Chetty, was a prominent non-Brahmin movement in the Madras Presidency. Statement 1 is correct: The party was established to represent the interests of non-Brahmins and openly criticized the Indian National Congress, characterizing it as an organization dominated by Brahmins. Statement 2 is correct: The Justice Party leaders argued that non-Brahmins, despite being a majority, were under-represented in public services and the legislature. They demanded communal representation for non-Brahmins, citing the precedent of separate electorates granted to Muslims under the Morley-Minto Reforms (1909). This advocacy was successful, as the Government of India Act 1919 (Montagu-Chelmsford Reforms) eventually provided for the reservation of seats for non-Brahmins in the Madras Legislative Council.
