Answer 1

Hint: The launch of the Khilafat and non-cooperation movements stirred the entire Indian community, cutting through British India's boundaries. The organisation of people started by the people of princely states for the national movement was called 'Praja Mandals' or 'Praja Parishads.' The national movement is also known as the Praja Mandal movement in the princely states.

Complete answer:
The banswara praja mandal was established in 1945 by Bhupendranath Trivedi.
Feudalism and colonialism were fought against by the people of Praja Mandal.
The people of the banswara Praja Mandal movement simultaneously fought for their rights against their feudal princes and the British administration.
Democratic (fundamental) rights were the main demand of the banswara Praja Mandal movement.
Banswara Praja Mandal Movements' activities:
The people of the Praja Mandal Movements in their princely states implemented the constructive programmes of the Indian National Movement.
They set up schools, used khadi, encouraged cottage industries and started the Untouchability agitation.

Hence the correct answer is option C.
