A. Jagjivan Ram

B. Dr. B. R. Ambedkar

C. Acharya Kripalani

D. Mahatma Gandhi

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

The scrapping of separate electorates was only the beginning of the end of untouchability. Under Gandhi’s inspiration, while he was still in prison, a new organization, Harijan Sevak Sangh was founded to combat untouchability and a new weekly paper, the Harijan, was started. Harijan means "children of God"; it was Gandhi’s name for the "untouchables".
