Question

What was the reason for the formation of the Justice Party?
A. To get equal justice due to caste issues
B. To get equal civil rights
C. To get right to vote
D. All of these

Answer 1

Hint:The Justice Party is also officially known as the South Indian Liberal Federation, which was a political party in the Madras Presidency of British India. It was founded on 20 November 1916 as a result of a series of non-Brahmin conferences and meetings in the presidency.

Complete answer:
To get equal justice due to caste issues- Brahmins and Non Brahmins were divided communally in the late 19th century , to fix the disturbances and for equal justice regardless of castes, this party was formed. Therefore, this is the correct option.
To get equal civil rights- This was not primarily the reason behind the formation of the justice party. Therefore, this is not the correct option.
To get right to vote- This was not primarily the reason behind the formation of the justice party. Therefore, this is not the correct option.
All of these- The primary reason behind the formation of this party is stated in option A. Therefore, this is not the correct option.

Hence, the correct answer is option A.

Note:In late 19th century and the early 20th century, Communal division occurred between Brahmins and non-Brahmins. This was mainly due to caste prejudices and disproportionate Brahminical representation in government jobs. The Justice Party's foundation was kept to mark the culmination of several efforts to build such an organisation that is capable of representing the non-Brahmins in Madras. This was seen as the start of the Dravidian Movement.
